In recent days, Dhivya Sashidhar has become a focal point of widespread discussion on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Identified as the estranged wife of Prasanna Sankar—a prominent Indian entrepreneur, co-founder of Rippling, a multi-billion-dollar HR tech firm, and 0xPPL, a Web3-focused venture—Dhivya is now at the center of a contentious legal and personal battle that has captured public attention.
The Allegations and Public Fallout
In passing trends on X at March 23, 2025, Dhivya and Prasanna are a decade married with an 9 year old boy [sic]. Prasanna said marriage ended when he found out about Dhivya’s six months long affair with another guy named Anoop, apparently.
Following which Dhivya is understood to have filed innumerable “False assault cases” against Prasanna for a piece of his wealth and assets, as well that of wanted half.
Well on March 23rd, 2025 (IST 19:06) Prasanna himself took to X, stating the divorce and then framing the ensuing legal brouhaha as extremely hostile.
His post quickly set off a chain of virulent reactions on the internet both in support of him — calling out Dhivya for suspected promiscuity and accusing Chennai police of a bias against Prasanna, his family and Gokul his assistant.
Legal Battle Over Their Son
That confrontation turned into a bigger furore when it came to light that Dhivya had allegedly lodged a complaint with the police that Gokul (assistant to Prasanna) had taken their kid from Chennai over to the U.S by force. Prasanna has cross examined these claims publicly by saying that taking child is with entire consents of parents.
Daily mail and Moneycontrol to its name, prominent news agencies have reported the story of Prasanna’s that he has alleged in Chennai Police is harassing/extorting him asking for Rs 25 lakh with Dhivya’s complaint. Police in Chennai say though they were just acting on child abduction allegations, not the allegations made by citizens.
A Story Shaped by Social Media
Beyond her association with Prasanna, little publicly verifiable information is available about Dhivya Sashidhar’s personal or professional background. The narrative continues to be driven largely by social media sentiment and Prasanna’s statements, with no definitive legal resolution reported as of March 23, 2025.
