Shikhar Dhawan’s Divorce
After being married for 8 years, Shikhar Dhawan and his wife, Ayesha Mukherji got separated last year in September 2021. The two also have a son together, named Zoravar. This came as a huge shock to everyone as the two seemed happy together and Ayesha even cheered for Shikhar from the sidelines in many of his matches.
Ayesha took to Instagram and disclosed about the divorce through a long Instagram post, stating how she feels after being a two-time divorcee and even shared her thoughts on the positive side of getting a divorce, saying, “Divorce means choosing myself and not settling and sacrificing my own life for the sake of marriage. Divorce means even though you do your best and try your best things sometimes do not work out and that's ok."
She was previously married to an Australian businessman and has two daughters from that marriage named Aliyah and Rhea whom Dhawan had adopted when the two got married. As far as Dhawan and Ayesha are concerned, the two didn’t directly fire any shots at each other nor did they reveal the exact reason for their split.
However, Shikhar did share a cryptic post on his Instagram account within a few days after Ayesha broke the news of the two not being together anymore.
However, in February 2023, Shikhar approached the Delhi Court to file a case against Ayesha, alleging that his partner had damaged his reputation and caused immense mental agony by keeping their kid away from the cricketer.
In October 2023, Dhawan got a major relief as he was not only granted a divorce but also an opportunity to meet his son, Zoravar. However, the Court refused to pass any order on the custody of their child.
