Dhanashree's statement

In a note shared on Instagram Stories on Wednesday evening, Dhanashree wrote, "The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What's truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact- checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate."

She then added, "I've worked hard for years to build my name and integrity. My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength. While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others."

The dancer and social media personality ended her note with: "I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification," before adding an 'Om Namah Shivaay' and folded hands emoji to her post.

Rumours about their separation began last week when social media users noted that they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
