Dhanashree Verma Jokes About ‘Gold Digger’ Trolls on Reality Show.
Dancer and creator Dhanashree Verma took a humorous dig at the trolling she faced after her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal during a promo for Ashneer Grover’s Rise And Fall on Amazon MX Player. In the episode, contestants had to choose between a gold bag worth ₹2 lakh and a silver bag worth ₹1 lakh. When paired with actor
Arjun Bijlani, who joked that only gold suits him, Dhanashree quipped:
“I cannot say this line. If I say this line, I won’t even get the love that I am going to get.”
Her witty response subtly referenced months of online trolling, where she was unfairly labeled a “gold digger” following her split from Chahal. Dhanashree has also shared that she maintains cordial communication with Chahal. In Farah Khan’s vlog, she revealed, “I am in touch with Yuzi also on messages. He used to call me maa; he is sweet only.”
Background: Dhanashree and Chahal married in December 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Differences emerged over time, and they began living apart in mid-2022, eventually filing for divorce by mutual consent in February 2025. During the final hearing, Chahal made headlines for wearing a T-shirt reading “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy”, which intensified trolling. Dhanashree later remarked she would have preferred a private message instead.
Through her humor and candor, Dhanashree turned a challenging personal experience into a moment of levity, showing she can handle public scrutiny with grace and wit.
