With Dhanashree’s entry into the Ashneer Grover-hosted reality series Rise and Fall, the spotlight is back on the former couple, with their relationship becoming a topic of discussion even within the four walls of the show’s house.Recently, the choreographer herself made some explosive revelations about her former husband and their marriage, which have left many shocked. In a clip from the show that has since gone viral on social media, she was seen claiming that Yuzvendra allegedly cheated on her just two months into their marriage.Only in SCREEN | Lucky Ali on ‘strict father’ Mehmood: ‘He had 27 cars but I wasn’t allowed to touch any; he would give me Rs 5 and ask for hisaab’During one of their casual conversations over breakfast, co-contestant and actor Kubbra Sait asked Dhanashree, “When did you realise in your relationship that, ‘Bhai, yeh nahi chal sakta, yeh mistake ho gaya hai abhi?‘ (When did you realise in your relationship that this can’t go on, and that it was a mistake?)” Without missing a beat, Dhanashree replied, “First year. Caught him in the second month.” Shocked, Kubbra exclaimed, “Crazy, bro!” to which Dhanashree responded with an agreeing, “Crazy, bro!”However, during his appearance on Raj Shamani’s YouTube podcast a few months ago, Yuzvendra had dismissed swirling claims that he was a cheater. “After the divorce happened, it occurred to me that people think I’m a cheater. And I have never cheated in my life. I am not that person. You won’t find someone more loyal than me. I always think from my heart for my loved ones. I have two sisters — I’ve seen how girls should be respected. That’s what my family taught me.” Mentioning that they faced marital problems for a long time before calling it quits, he even claimed they were faking their relationship towards the end.

To his question of how long it had been since their divorce, she said, “Officially, it has been almost a year. It happened quickly because it was mutual, that’s why when people say alimony, it’s wrong. 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 those who don’t even know you? We were married for four years, we dated 6-7 months before that.”Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Yuzvendra Chahal
