About Dhanashree Verma
Dhanashree Verma is a multi-talented personality – a choreographer, dancer, YouTuber, and a dentist by qualification. She rose to fame with her dance videos on YouTube and later became a finalist on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11. In December 2020, Dhanashree and Chahal tied the knot, but the marriage faced turbulence soon after, leading to their divorce in 2025. Chahal’s advocate, Nitin Kumar Gupta, confirmed to ANI: “The court has granted the decree of divorce, and both parties are no longer husband and wife.”
Insights into Their Separation
While the couple issued a joint statement confirming their split, the specifics behind their separation were not officially shared. Senior journalist Vickey Lalwani reported that a disagreement over residence was a key factor. After marriage, the couple initially lived with Chahal’s parents in Haryana, but Dhanashree wanted to move to Mumbai, which reportedly caused friction.
Rumours About Dhanashree’s Personal Life
Post-divorce, rumours have circulated regarding Dhanashree’s relationship with choreographer Pratik Utekar. A viral picture from a New Year celebration showed them getting cosy, prompting Pratik to clarify via Instagram stories, addressing speculation linking him to Dhanashree. Meanwhile, Chahal has been reportedly linked to RJ Mahvash after the separation.
With Dhanashree Verma entering the Rise and Fall house, fans are eagerly waiting to see how she navigates the challenges alongside other celebrities.
