Former India opener Virender Sehwag and wife Aarti Ahlawat, are reportedly separating after 20 years of marriage. Sources have suggested that the two are living. The couple has also followed each other on social media.
They have two sons together—Aryavir, born in 2007, and Vedant, born in 2010. The ex-India batter had earlier posted pictures of Diwali celebrations on his social media where he shared photos with his sons and his mother on social media but omitted any mention or pictures of Aarti.
Aarti hails from New Delhi and pursued her education at Lady Irwin Secondary School and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan before completing a diploma in Computer Science from Maitreyi College, Delhi University.

29th March- A date which has ended up becoming special for me. On this day in 2004, I had the honour of becoming the first Indian to score a 300 in Test Cricket, scoring 309 against Pak & 4 years later on the same date got an opportunity to surpass 309, while scoring 319 vs SA 🙏 pic.twitter.com/Wyik8NEskl

Sehwag became the first Indian batter to score a triple hundred. He notched up two triple hundreds in his career– one against Pakistan where he struck 309 and second against South Africa after he got career-best 319. Sehwag could have scored his third triple ton but fell short by 7 runs after getting dismissed for 293 against Sri Lanka.
