Dhawan wants to be around his son Zoravar more often
Beyond the banter, Dhawan delved into a more personal aspect of his life-the desire to spend more time with his son, Zoravar. Following his divorce from Aesha Mukerji, Dhawan has faced challenges in maintaining regular contact with his son, who currently resides with his mother.
“I write messages to him every day, I don’t know whether he is receiving those or not, whether he is reading it or not. I don’t have any expectations. I have accepted it. I am a father and I am trying to do my duty. I miss him. I feel sad but I have learnt to live with it. When I used to go and meet him, he was allowed to meet only twice that too only for two to three hours. I want my son to be around me. I want to hug him,” Dhawan added in a Humans of Bombay podcast.
Expressing his longing to be closer to Zoravar, Dhawan shared that he writes messages to his son daily, acknowledging the uncertainty of whether they are received. Despite the challenges, Dhawan remains dedicated to his role as a father, emphasizing his desire to hug and be around Zoravar more often.
