Shikhar Dhawan, an Indian cricketer, is in the headlines due to his divorce from his wife, Aesha Mukerji. The player is one of the most sought-after Indian cricketers after breaking the jinx against South Africa at the 2015 ICC World Cup. Apart from his outstanding on-field performance, his love and dedication to his wife, Aesha Mukerji, captivated our hearts.
After connecting over Facebook, Shikhar Dhawan and Aesha Mukerji discovered true love in each other, from their shared passion for sports to their love for tattoos. Though we were smitten by the story of love and camaraderie of this moustache-swirling cricketer and the Bengali beauty, fate had other plans for them. After 9 years of being married blissfully, the couple chose to opt for a divorce, breaking the hearts of their millions of followers.
Shikhar Dhawan paid a visit to comedian Kapil Sharma’s popular show, Comedy Nights With Kapil, in 2014. The cricketer was asked which Bollywood lady he would like to go out on a date with during his time on the show. This question had startled him because he had only been married for two years and had given the host a rather cheeky response.
“Hum toh pehle hi haath jodte hai,” Shikhar Dhawan stated in response to the query. ‘Aapne humari shaadi tudwani hai.’ Making fun of him, Kapil joked that he is always terrified of his wife, no matter how famous he is. “Banda jitna marzi bada celebrity ho, biwi ke aage woh pati hi hai,” he had stated. Shikhar also mentioned his beloved wife, Aesha, saying that she is his favourite actress and that he would like to take her out on a date.
