MUMBAI: After being with each other for over eight years, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and Aesha Mukherji have parted ways.
They have a seven-year-old son together named Zoravar.
Aesha Mukherji on Tuesday announced her divorce from Shikhar Dhawan. The announcement was made by Aesha via her Instagram account wherein she penned a long post on how it feels to get divorced twice. Aesha stated, “I thought divorce was a dirty word until I became a 2-time divorcee.”
Further in the post, she adds that one can give their own meaning to the word. Aesha jotted down her interpretation of ‘divorce’ which read that it means choosing oneself and not settling and sacrificing one’s own life for the sake of marriage.

Aesha wrote, “Divorce means even though you do your best and try your best things sometimes do not work out and that’s ok and it also means that I had amazing relationships that have taught me great lessons to carry forward in new relationships.” Through the post, she also reached out to people who were struggling to cope with separation and even offered help.
Previously, the Melbourne-based Aesha was married to an Australian businessman and had two daughters. In 2000, the couple had welcomed their first child and named her Aliyah. Later, in 2005, they were blessed with another daughter-Rhea. The reasons for her first divorce are not known.
For the uninitiated, Aesha’s first interaction with Shikhar took place via Facebook. The link between the two was Dhawan’s former teammate Harbhajan Singh, who was a common friend of the couple. After dating for a while, she got engaged to Dhawan in 2009 and later in 2012, the couple got married.
Aesha is a former kickboxer. She has played at both national and international levels.
