In an interview with Humans of Bombay, she revealed that she broke down in tears on the day the verdict was announced. Calling it the “most emotional moment for me and my family”, Dhanashree said she was overwhelmed despite being mentally prepared.

“Divorce is not something that you celebrate. It is very sad and emotional. It’s not just you and the other person, but both families are involved. People who genuinely care for you and love you, everyone is dealing with the same emotion.”

She admitted that public commentary only added to the weight of the situation.
