Recently, a new controversy erupted when a video shared by YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra went viral. In the video, Mishra strongly criticized Dhanashree, implying that she was facing difficulties in restarting her life after the divorce and insinuating that she had financially benefited from the separation. He sarcastically remarked, “If you’re getting money, that gives you empowerment. So, shouldn’t you also say that you are a self-made woman?,” His statement was widely interpreted as a direct jab at Dhanashree’s reported financial settlement from Chahal.

What added fuel to the already heated debate was the reaction of Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma. Ritika ‘liked’ the controversial video, an action that many social media users perceived as an endorsement of the criticism aimed at Dhanashree. This led to a flurry of reactions from fans, with many interpreting Ritika’s gesture as her taking Chahal’s side in the matter and indirectly blaming Dhanashree for the divorce.
The incident quickly gained traction, with netizens debating whether Ritika’s action was intentional or simply a casual engagement with the content. Some fans argued that her ‘like’ was an expression of support for Chahal, while others speculated whether she had accidentally engaged with the post. However, the fact that Ritika later removed her ‘like’ from the post only added to the controversy, making people wonder whether she was trying to avoid unwanted attention.
