Episode 4 of Rise and Fall brought fresh drama inside the penthouse as actress Ahana Kumra and singer-host Aditya Narayan confronted Chahal’s ex-wife Dhanashree Verma over repeatedly bringing up her personal life during conversations.
The moment unfolded when contestants were engaged in a casual group interaction. Dhanashree, while trying to connect with fellow players, once again mentioned her divorced life, which triggered a strong reaction from Ahana Kumra. “Why do you need to talk about your divorced life every two minutes?” Ahana snapped, with Aditya Narayan also backing her point, saying contestants should focus on the game instead of repeatedly playing the sympathy card.
Dhanashree defended herself, stating that her past struggles are part of her identity and she wants to be open about them. However, her comments didn’t sit well with many inside the penthouse, escalating tensions further.
Chahal–Dhanashree background
Dhanashree Verma, a dancer, choreographer, and social media personality, was married to Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The two tied the knot in December 2020 but announced their separation in 2023 and officialy divorced earlier this year. The split grabbed headlines across social media, with both maintaining silence on the exact reasons but requesting privacy.
Now, with Dhanashree inside Rise and Fall, her past relationship has once again become a topic of conversation — this time drawing criticism from co-contestants who feel she is overemphasizing it in the show.
