Delhi Court grants Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan divorce from his estranged wife Ayesha Mukherjee on grounds of 'Cruelty'.

In a recent development a Delhi Court has granted Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan divorce from his estranged wife, Ayesha Mukherjee, citing 'cruelty' as the grounds for their separation.

Shikhar Dhawan, fondly known as 'Gabbar' by his fans, and Ayesha Mukherjee, an amateur boxer and kickboxer, tied the knot in 2012. Ayesha, who is of British-Bengali origin, moved to Australia at a young age and was residing there before her marriage to the Indian cricketer. The couple's unconventional background and shared interests in sports initially garnered them a lot of attention and support from fans and the cricketing community.

The couple officially announced their separation in May 2021, issuing a joint statement that cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their decision. The divorce proceedings that followed were conducted in a Delhi Court. Details of the alleged cruelty have not been publicly disclosed due to legal confidentiality.

Shikhar Dhawan, who is a popular and accomplished cricketer, is now facing not just personal but also public scrutiny. The emotional toll of a divorce, especially when it involves children, as in this case, can be immense. Shikhar and Ayesha have a son named Zoravar, and their separation will undoubtedly have an impact on his life as well.

The Delhi Court's decision to grant Shikhar Dhawan a divorce from Ayesha Mukherjee on grounds of 'cruelty' serves as a reminder of the complexities of personal relationships and the challenges that individuals face in their personal lives, regardless of their celebrity status.
