Dhanashree Verma’s latest song release sparked speculation among fans, coinciding with the finalisation of her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Titled "Dekha Ji Dekha Maine," the song delves into themes of toxic relationships, infidelity, and domestic abuse. The timing of its release led many to wonder if the track reflects aspects of her personal life. Adding to the curiosity, Dhanashree shared an Instagram story on Friday with the caption: "Life imitating art."
Dhanashree reshares a story of 'Life imitating art'
On March 20, T-Series unveiled 'Dekha Ji Dekha Maine,' a song featuring Dhanashree alongside actor Ishwak Singh, known for his role in 'Paatal Lok.' The video, shot in Jaipur, portrays intense moments, including a scene where the husband slaps his wife and is seen getting close to another woman.
Following the release, fans and well-wishers flooded the comments section on Instagram and YouTube, praising Dhanashree’s performance. Among those reacting was her advocate, Yesha Agarwal, who shared an Instagram story saying, "Life imitating art — the best yet. So proud of you, Dhanashree." The choreographer reshared the post, further fueling conversations about the song’s connection to her personal experiences.
The song, sung by Jyoti Nooran, is penned and composed by Jaani. However, Dhanashree has yet to clarify whether the track is inspired by her own life.
Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal divorce
Chahal and Verma, who tied the knot in December 2020, had been living separately since June 2022. They were granted divorce on Thursday (March 20).
Earlier this year, on February 5, they moved the family court with a joint request for a mutual divorce. However, due to Chahal’s commitment to the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL)—where he is set to play for Punjab Kings—the Bombay High Court urged the family court to expedite the proceedings and issue a ruling before March 22, the start of the tournament.
As per the Hindu Marriage Act, couples seeking divorce by mutual consent are required to undergo a six-month cooling-off period to reconsider their decision. However, Chahal and Verma had approached the High Court seeking an exemption, arguing that they had been living separately for a significant period and had already finalized their terms.
Initially, the family court had declined their request, citing incomplete compliance with the agreed-upon financial settlement. Chahal was supposed to pay Verma ₹4.75 crore as permanent alimony, but he had only transferred ₹2.37 crore at the time. Additionally, a marriage counselor’s report had noted that mediation efforts had only been partially successful.
However, the High Court overruled this decision, stating that the second installment of the payment was scheduled to be made only after the divorce decree was granted. With all legal conditions met, the court waived the mandatory waiting period and allowed the divorce to proceed.
