In a recent social media controversy, Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, has drawn attention for liking a video that criticizes choreographer Dhanashree Verma. After divorcing Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhanashree came under fire from a video that branded her a “gold digger.”

Alleges that Dhanashree received a hefty alimony of ₹4.75 crore after separating from Chahal. The video was shared by journalist Shubhankar Mishra. He further alleged that it was clear she took the financial payment at face value while she tried to ‘act’ morally virtuous. Furthermore, Ritika's engagement with the post by liking it has sparked opposing reactions from her supporters and critics.

Most recently, these events have created some buzz on social media these days. Some people suggest that perhaps Ritika’s like means she agrees with the critique of Dhanashree, while some think it might be a complete coincidence. Neither Sharma nor Sajdeh has publicly commented on the situation.

Chahal and Dhanashree so far have kept quiet about the drama surrounding their divorce and Ritika's bold take on social media.

Though it has been reported that Dhanashree Verma was paid as much as ₹4.75 crore out of the divorce settlement, the mathematics behind the divorce along with the sums being paid after the split are shrouded in mystery. Some social media users jump in to criticize and interrogate Dhanashree’s decision to accept the alimony, while others defend it, saying it is simply the nature of divorce proceedings.

While India are busy in the last group stage match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the Indian cricketers' wives were seen in the venue. 

Anushka Sharma met with Ritika Sajdeh and her newborn child Ahaan

During the Group A match India vs New Zealand on Sunday (March 2), Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh was seen with their newborn child Ahaan.

Ahaan was born last November

Rohit-Ritika has two children. While Samaira was born in December 2018, Ahaan was born last November, when India were travelling to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Due to his parental leave, the Indian skipper missed the first Test of that five-match away Test series.
