Do you believe divorce should be a public matter?
Dhanashree, who recently spoke on the podcast Spill The Tea, offered a candid and emotional account of the divorce proceedings. She described the day as “deeply emotional” for both families. “Divorce is not something to celebrate. It’s something very sad. Marriage begins with love, but when it ends, it often ends in distrust,” she said, recalling how she broke down when the verdict was announced.
What particularly went viral was her criticism of Chahal’s attire at the court hearing. The spinner arrived wearing a black t-shirt with the slogan “Be your own sugar daddy,” a move many perceived as a pointed remark aimed at his ex-wife.
“He walked out first, and that whole t-shirt episode unfolded. I wasn’t even aware of it because I left quietly through the back door. But before I realised, people began speculating about me because of that stunt,” Dhanashree said.
The fallout has triggered a social media storm, with fans divided over Chahal’s choice of attire and Dhanashree’s blunt revelations. While Dhanashree admitted she felt hurt at that moment, she also said it gave her closure: “That moment gave me the motivation to laugh and move on. It’s over.”
Chahal’s cryptic post now adds another layer of intrigue to the public saga.
