Ritika Sajdeh, wife of Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma, has sparked controversy by ‘liking’ a social media post that criticized Dhanashree Verma over her divorce settlement with Yuzvendra Chahal. The post, shared by Shubhankar Mishra, questioned Dhanashree’s decision to accept ₹4.75 crore in alimony and suggested that it justified the ‘gold digger’ label.
In the viral clip, Shubhankar commented on the divorce, stating, “Dhanashree will face difficulties in starting her new life, especially with Chahal’s fans trolling her. But financial security gives power. However, if that’s the case, then should one still claim to be a ‘self-made woman’?” He further remarked, “If Chahal wears a T-shirt saying ‘Be your own sugar daddy’ or people call you a gold digger, you shouldn’t have an issue—because you’re accepting the money.”
Ritika Sajdeh’s engagement with the post—‘liking’ it on Instagram—has surprised many, fueling speculation about her stance on the matter.
For context, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma, who married in 2020, have officially parted ways after living separately for 18 months. Their divorce was finalized on March 20, with Chahal’s lawyer, Nitin Kumar Gupta, confirming the court’s verdict.
On the same day, Dhanashree released her latest music video, Dekha Ji Dekha Maine, which delves into themes of infidelity and toxic relationships. Her first public appearance post-divorce on March 21 further added to the intrigue. When asked about her feelings, she remained composed and cryptically responded, “Gaana suno pehle” (Listen to the song first). The video, co-starring Ishwak Singh as her on-screen husband, narrates the tale of a woman trapped in a deceitful relationship, leading fans to draw parallels between the storyline and her personal life.
