Suryakumar Yadav's Wife Supports Dhanashree Verma Even After Divorce Podcast

The private lives of players regularly attract as much attention as their on field performances and the latest tale of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma's divorce is a case in point. The separation of the couple was discussed widely not only in news stories but also on social media and podcasts. Though Chahal had first talked about the divorce in a podcast sharing a few details from his side it was then Dhanashree who spoke up and shared her experiences and feelings. Her openness made headlines read by many including Suryakumar Yadav's wife Devisha Shetty who wanted to come out and support her openly. This small gesture by Devisha touched hearts and went viral within no time.

When Dhanashree opened up on the popular show Humans of Bombay she explained the pain and feelings that accompanied the final court decision. Even though she had prepared herself emotionally for the separation she confessed that the moment was overwhelming. She remembered standing in court awaiting the judge's verdict when suddenly feelings overcame her and she started crying. She reported having wept uncontrollably and not being able to put into words the gravity of the situation. To her and her family, it was not only a legal proceeding but an extremely emotional experience leaving permanent recollections.

Following the verdict the scenario became tougher. She described how Chahal departed first and there was a T shirt incident that spread rapidly in the media. She herself skipped the front gate so that she did not have to face the flashing cameras. She slipped out through the rear gate in her plain t shirt and jeans attempting to keep things covert. Seated in the car with her best friend she was still trying to wrap her head around what had occurred. She confessed that she was trembling and dreading the shade of blame that would be hurled at her when the news reaches people. To someone who is in the limelight the attention and ceaseless judgments only exacerbate the situation.

During this trying period Dhanashree took heart from a most unlikely source. Devisha Shetty wife of India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav posted an Instagram story hailing her courage. She said she had a great deal of respect and admiration for Dhanashree for talking freely about something so personal. These words of appreciation quickly began trending on Reddit and social media platforms where people did like Devisha's action. Several users did say that it was nice to see an individual from the cricket fraternity coming to support Dhanashree rather than contributing to the criticism. One of the users even commented that it illustrated Devisha needs to understand better about the situation and hence decided to be on her side. Another user noted that although Chahal appeared immature sometimes particularly after the breakup Dhanashree had behaved in a dignified manner and managed all things in a gracious way.

The reply to Devisha's message indicates the significance of kindness and empathy at hard times. For celebrities such as Dhanashree and Chahal, every move is news and their personal battles tend to become public arguments. Some others online take sides and some even troll but moments like these show that little sympathy can do a lot of good. Devisha did not have to pen lengthy statements yet her concise caption saying so much respect and love for you was enough to make people sit up and take notice. It was a reminder that women empowered by other women can make a great impact.

Despite the fact that the divorce itself is personal, both Chahal and Dhanashree chose to talk about it publicly on podcasts. In Chahal's case, it was a matter of expressing his side and dropping hints about what had happened. For Dhanashree, it was more a matter of venting her emotions and telling others how difficult it was to experience something so permanent. While both elicited mixed responses Dhanashree's candour touched hearts as she confessed to her weaknesses rather than concealing them. Mentioning crying in court and dealing with the stress demonstrated that beneath all the glamour and celebrity she is like any other human being.

On Reddit as well as other forums for discussion it continues to rage on. Some empathize with Chahal while others think Dhanashree should be accorded more respect for her calm. The T shirt episode then became representative of the way public personalities tend to be condemned ruthlessly for any little thing they do even at times of suffering. For Dhanashree, above all else, was her close friends and family who did not give up on her. The support she received from Devisha was unique since it came from within the cricketing fraternity where individuals tend to keep quiet regarding such private issues.

Chahal and Dhanashree's divorce is the tale of how even contemporary relationships have their problems even when they are being lived in the public eye. Social media brings another level of stress where everybody wants to comment and judgments are instant. Amidst all this din a humble message of solidarity can stand out. Devisha Shetty wrote little but her post was the source of courage for Dhanashree and also provided an example to be followed.

At the end of the day what people will remember is not merely the agony of separation but also the guts of being frank and the goodness displayed by someone who decided to stick with another woman. Life continues for both Chahal and Dhanashree but this chapter has served as a reminder to fans that cricketers and their kin also face hardships like everyone else. They laugh and cry they get criticized and they require encouragement. As this story remains under discussion online the act of Devisha will continue to be a small but firm representation of kindness in a world which tends to forget the virtue of compassion.
