Dhanashree Verma has found herself at the center of social media controversy after accepting the alimony of Rs 4.75 crore from Yuzvendra Chahal. Following the news, the choreographer shared a glimpse of her latest music video on Instagram, which quickly became a target for criticism. Many social media users flooded the comments section with harsh remarks, questioning her decision to accept the settlement.
Several users took a sarcastic approach, with one asking if the amount had been credited to her account. Others accused her of using someone else’s money to fund her video projects, while some mocked her for turning a personal crisis into an opportunity. The backlash even extended to comments comparing alimony to dowry, with some arguing that both should be considered morally and legally questionable.
The criticism intensified as some questioned her self-respect, wondering why she would accept financial support from Chahal if she had been wrong in the relationship. Others went as far as labeling her with derogatory terms, equating her acceptance of the alimony to an act of theft.

Reports earlier this week confirmed that Chahal had agreed to pay Rs 4.75 crore as a part of their divorce settlement. Under the agreed terms, half of the amount — Rs 2.37 crore—had already been paid, while the remaining balance was yet to be cleared. The family court viewed any delay in payment as a violation of the settlement agreement.
The couple, who got married in 2020, had been living separately for the past 18 months. Their divorce was finalised on March 20, with Chahal’s legal representative confirming that the court had officially dissolved their marriage. As the situation unfolds, the discussion surrounding alimony, financial settlements and gender dynamics in divorce continues to spark debate, with strong opinions on both the sides.
