Shikhar Dhawan tied the knot with Ayesha Mukherjee in October 2012. After eight years of marriage, a Delhi court granted the 38-year-old cricketer a divorce due to "cruelty" from his estranged wife. Despite the personal challenges, Dhawan continues to share moments with his son on social media.

Last December, Shikhar Dhawan marked a special occasion by posting a heartfelt message to his son, reminiscing about their last meeting amidst his strained relationship with Ayesha.

“It’s been a year since I saw you in person, and now, for almost three months, I’ve been blocked from everywhere so Posting the same picture to wish you, my boy, a very Happy Birthday. Even if I can’t connect with you directly, I connect with you through Telepathy. I am so proud of you, and I know you’re doing great and growing up nicely,” Dhawan wrote in his post.

“Papa always misses you and loves you. He’s always positive, waiting with a smile for the time when we will meet again by the Grace of God. Be naughty but not destructive, be a giver, be humble, compassionate, patient, and strong. Despite not seeing you, I write you messages almost every day, asking about your well-being and daily life, sharing what I’m doing and what’s new in my life,” Dhawan added.
