Dhanashree Verma Speaks Out
In a candid conversation with singer and Rise and Fall contestant Aditya Narayan, Dhanashree addressed the swirling speculations regarding her post-divorce settlement. She revealed that the claims about her demanding a specific alimony amount were entirely false.

“It has almost been a year since my divorce. We were married for four years and dating for six to seven months. Everything happened quickly because it was mutual. So when people talk about alimony, it’s wrong,” Dhanashree clarified on the show.
She further explained her decision not to publicly comment earlier: “Just because I am not saying anything, you will go on saying anything? My parents have taught me to only justify to people whom I care about. Why waste time explaining to those who do not even know you?”
Dhanashree added that the ongoing rumors caused her unnecessary distress, emphasizing that she continues to respect her ex-husband.
