Shikhar & Ayesha may have divorced after 8 years of marriage but how their story began is nothing less than a fairytale. Read on
Shikhar & Ayesha met when Shikhar was scrolling through his Facebook feed and stumbled upon Ayesha’s pictures. Harbhajan Singh was a mutual friend and that helped.
After accepting Shikhar’s friendship request on Facebook, Ayesha and the cricketer started having long conversations which eventually led them to fall in love.
Ayesha was a mother of two and a divorcee which Harbhajan had told Shikhar already. But in love, nothing else matters.
There was a gap of 12 years between Ayesha & Shikhar. Ayesha was 12 years older but they had become best friends first and none of this mattered.
Shikhar’s family objected to the relationship between an Anglo-Indian girl who was 12 years older and had 2 daughters while Shikhar was a young budding cricketer.
It was difficult for Shikhar to convince his parents. While his father Mahendra Pal Dhawan was against their marriage, his mother, Sunaina Dhawan was with them.
The couple eventually got engaged in 2009 but Shikhar delayed the wedding as he wanted to establish himself as a successful Indian cricket team member & also wanted to focus on getting along with the daughters.
The couple got married on October 30, 2012 in a traditional Sikh wedding which was attended by other teammates including Virat Kohli who danced as the perfect baraati.
Shikhar & Ayesha had a son together named Zoravar, on December 26, 2014.
All was hunky dorey in their married life according to the fans until one fine day, Ayesha dropped a bomb on social media about their divorce, in September 2021.
