Shikhar Dhawan Responds to Social Media Speculation After Remarriage

Well, for the unversed, ever since Shikhar Dhawan got married for the second time, many fans and social media users claimed that Shikhar Dhawan’s ex-wife, Aesha, had once told him that no one would marry him after she left, and by remarrying, Shikhar Dhawan has given a perfect reply to his ex-wife.

However, Shikhar Dhawan has rubbished all such stories and has expressed how grateful he is for the love and blessings that he has been receiving.

“I have come across some posts on social media attributing a disappointing statement about my personal life. I have never carried baggage from the past, be it on the pitch or outside. I firmly believe in the power of positivity while respecting my past,” wrote Dhawan on his social media accounts.

“This is a new chapter in my life, and I feel truly grateful for the love and blessings I have received from my fans, friends, family, well-wishers and the media. I strongly urge people not to trade on my name with clickbait, insensitive and false statements on social media. Let’s spread love and positivity. Thank you,” he added.
