Farah Khan SLAMS for Insensitive Questions to Dhanashree Verma in Viral Vlog
Farah Khan is facing severe backlash from Reddit users for her “insensitive” interview with Dhanashree Verma. Discover what fans are saying about the questions asked and why the vlog is being called “cringeworthy” and “exploitative
Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan recently featured Dhanashree Verma on her YouTube vlog, where the latter opened up about her personal life, including her much-publicised divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. During the chat, Dhanashree candidly mentioned that both she and Chahal have moved on, that their issues are nearly settled, and that they still occasionally text each other.
While the vlog initially went viral for these revelations, it’s now drawing attention for an entirely different reason. A growing number of Reddit users have called out Farah Khan for what they perceive as her repeatedly pushing Dhanashree to talk about her divorce, despite visible discomfort.
A Reddit post that sparked the discussion read, “I just watched Farah Khan’s latest YouTube video with Dhanashree and honestly found it odd. Farah kept circling back to her marriage with Yuzvendra, even though Dhanashree gave vague, uninterested answers. I’ve seen Farah interview bigger celebs with exes & divorces, but never push that angle with them. It came off a bit condescending, like she felt more comfortable being casually insensitive because Dhanashree isn’t a huge star.”
The post triggered a wave of similar reactions. One user commented, “Yeah, she was repeatedly asking about Yuzi and her past, how they met and whatnot after separation, she was doing it for views.”
Some also pointed to similar moments in Farah’s previous vlogs, “Yeah, even in a vlog with Shehnaaz Gill, she was like tujhe toh sahi wala mil gaya tha, but bura hua, (you go the right one but bad things happen) and then she tried to talk about Sidharth Shukla’s demise… Shehnaaz looked uncomfortable.”
Another viewer noted, “Honestly, it was so disappointing… Dhanashree was clearly uncomfortable, but she still kept repeating. I wondered why she didn’t do the same when she went to Shalin’s (Bhanot) house…”
Others felt the interview could have focused more on Dhanashree’s career.“The whole thing was so uncomfortable to watch… Dhanashree wanted to talk more about her work, etc.”
However, not all viewers agreed with the criticism. Supporters of Farah Khan also chimed in to defend her intentions and interviewing style.
One person wrote, “On the contrary, I felt she was rather mature about asking those questions, so was Dhanashree in answering them… Plus, how are you conveniently missing the entire segment of her discussing upcoming movies, songs, shows, etc?”
Another added,“You are being EXTREMELY naive if you think she wouldn’t have mentioned beforehand that these topics would be touched upon.”
One user pointed out that such discussions are often pre-planned,“Dhanashree has been talking about her divorce lately coz of her new show… in such kind of videos, the artists do receive a broad outline of the questions beforehand which are mutually agreed upon. (sic)”
Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal confirmed their divorce in March after months of speculation, stating they have moved on amicably and remain in touch. The split, though personal, became a hot topic across social media and news outlets.
Meanwhile, Farah Khan continues to enjoy a successful run on YouTube. Her celebrity vlogs consistently draw high engagement, as does her cook Dilip.
Bollywood choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan has found herself at the center of a social media storm after her latest vlog featuring dancer and content creator Dhanashree Verma. The video, intended as a lighthearted interview, has drawn intense criticism, with Reddit users and fans alike accusing Khan of an “insensitive” and “exploitative” interview approach.
The backlash began shortly after the vlog was posted, with a thread on a popular Bollywood subreddit quickly gaining traction. Hundreds of comments flooded the post, with users expressing their discomfort and anger at what they perceived as a lack of empathy from Khan.
The core of the controversy lies in the line of questioning Farah Khan pursued with Dhanashree. While discussing Dhanashree’s personal life, Khan repeatedly brought up the public speculation surrounding her marital issues with cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Users pointed out that Khan seemed to be pushing Verma to address the rumors, even after the dancer appeared visibly uncomfortable.
One Reddit user wrote, “It was so cringeworthy to watch. Farah kept prodding her about the divorce rumors, even when Dhanashree clearly didn’t want to talk about it. It’s not journalism, it’s just trying to get a viral clip by exploiting someone’s personal pain.”
Another user commented on the dynamic, noting, “You can see the shift in Dhanashree’s body language. She went from being relaxed and happy to guarded and uncomfortable. That’s a sign that the interview went completely off the rails.”
The criticism wasn’t limited to just a few comments. The collective outrage highlights a growing sentiment among social media users who are tired of celebrity interviews that prioritize sensationalism over human decency. Many came to Dhanashree’s defense, praising her grace and composure in a difficult situation.
“Dhanashree handled it with so much class,” one fan wrote. “She didn’t give in to the pressure and kept her dignity intact. It just makes you respect her more.”
The incident has opened up a broader conversation about celebrity journalism and the responsibility of interviewers. Many are questioning whether the line between public interest and personal privacy is being blurred, especially when content is produced for clicks and views.
As of now, neither Farah Khan nor Dhanashree Verma has issued a public statement addressing the backlash. However, the comments section of the original vlog has been a battleground, with fans debating the merits of the interview and defending their respective positions. This controversy serves as a stark reminder that in the age of viral content, a single misstep can quickly turn a celebrity’s project into a major PR crisis.
