The finalist of the reality television show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11 Dhanashree Verma recently faced criticism after her photograph with choreographer Pratil Utekar went viral.

On Saturday, Verma, who is Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife, took to her Instagram and broke the silence on online trolls, requesting social media users to spread positivity and not hate across all the platforms. In a video, the 27-year-old said the trolling affected her family and “near and dear ones.” She said, “It’s that simple to ask and be a human first, then to put forward certain verdicts or opinions.”

“I have never in my life been affected by trolls or memes because definitely had a lot of maturity in ignoring or laughing it out loud until this very recent troll occurred. The reason it has affected me this time is because it has affected my family and my near and dear ones,” Verma said.

Regarding her social media detox, Verma said, “Since you all have the freedom on social media platforms to speak your heart and characters out, that you tend to forget or choose to ignore the sentiments of us and our families. This led to the decision of me taking a detox from social media and trust me, it was very peaceful.”

“Just requesting you guys to be little more sensitive and focus on our talent and skill because at the end of the day guys we are all here on this medium just to entertain you guys. So just don’t forget I’m also just a woman, just like your mother, your sister, your friend, your wife. And this is not done. It’s not fair. So guys, please, you know, I am known as a fighter and I never give up,” she added.
