It really feels disheartening when you see an ideal couple parting ways after holding each other for a very long time. The whole nation felt the same when India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Ayesha Mukherjee announced their decision of parting ways after holding each other for more than 8 years. The confirmation of divorce was made by Ayesha, 46, who changed her name to Aesha Mukherjee from Ayesha Dhawan and posted about it on Instagram. Ayesha, who is a professional kickboxer, and Shikhar exchanged vows back in 2016. Their loved-up pictures and posts on social media always had fans swooning over them. Lets, take a walk down memory lane through the pictures of Shikhar Dhawan and Ayesha Mukherjee together.
In the case of Shikhar and Ayesha, social media showed its power to unite the duo. Shikhar, first saw Ayesha on Facebook while he was randomly going through their mutual friend’s profile.
When Shikhar got to know that she is a friend of former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, he sent her a friend request and started talking to her. In no time, the couple felt the spark and their friendship turned into love.
Ayesha is reportedly 10 years older than Shikhar Dhawan, but that did not hinder the two from falling in love.
The journey from friend to lover was easy for the couple but when it came to marriage things got pretty serious. Ayesha had two children from her former marriage, so when she accepted the marriage with Shikhar, many people were surprised, but Shikhar's mother supported them
Shikhar's relationship with Ayesha's children was important to her. Ayesha has two daughters Aliyah and Rhea from her first marriage with an Australian businessman. After a look at Shikhar’s Instagram grid, it is pretty clear that he was close to her daughters.
Shikhar and Ayesha married in a Sikh ceremony. Many cricketers, including Virat Kohli, attended the ceremony.
They had their first son, named Zoravar Dhawan, in 2014. Despite her busy schedule and frequent travel between Melbourne and India, she was often seen cheering Shikhar during his matches.
To start a new beginning, Ayesha deleted her old Instagram account with the user name @aesha.dhawan5 and created a new one which is @apwithaesha
