Dhanashree Varma, Yuzvendra Chahal‘s wife, has spoken out regarding the Instagram post involving Pratik Utekar, breaking the silence surrounding the issue.
Dhanashree, who was last seen in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, has spoken out following criticism stemming from a picture (now deleted) with choreographer Pratik Utekar, which went viral. Addressing the issue on her official Instagram account, she expressed concern over the impact of social media messages on her family, breaking her silence on the matter.
She shared, “It’s that simple to ask and be a human first, then to put forward certain verdicts or opinions.I have never in my life been affected by trolls or memes because definitely had a lot of maturity in ignoring or laughing it out loud until this very recent troll occurred. The reason it has affected me this time is because it has affected my family and my near and dear ones. Since you all have the freedom on social media platforms to speak your heart and characters out, that you tend to forget or choose to ignore the sentiments of us and our families. This led to the decision of me taking a detox from social media and trust me, it was very peaceful.”

She further says, “But this also made me realize that if we make this medium so negative, then all we are doing is spreading hate and disharmony on a large scale. Social media is a major part of my work and I can’t give up which is why I have gathered courage today and my creative side here to come back on Instagram. Just requesting you guys to be little more sensitive and focus on our talent and skill because at the end of the day guys we are all here on this medium just to entertain you guys. So just don’t forget I’m also just a woman, just like your mother, your sister, your friend, your wife. And this is not done. It’s not fair. So guys, please, you know, I am known as a fighter and I never give up.”

Dhanashree had entered the dance reality show as a wild card contestant and one of the top 5 finalists too.
