Recent rumours have been circulating about former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, fuelled by viral photos allegedly suggesting that the two are in a relationship.
Shikhar Dhawan’s retirement and personal life
Shikhar Dhawan, nicknamed as ‘Gabbar’ by Indian cricket fans, announced his retirement from all forms of the game in August this year. Having captained Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2022 to 2024, Dhawan faced challenges including injuries and being dropped from the national squad prior to the 2023 World Cup. His personal life has also been in the spotlight following his divorce from Aesha Mukerji in 2023, which has led to various dating rumours since their separation began in 2020.
Dhawan’s viral pictures with Huma Qureshi
The speculation about Dhawan dating Huma intensified after images purportedly showing them together surfaced on social media.
These photos were widely shared, leading many to believe that the two are in a relationship. Some sources even suggested that they might be married, capitalizing on the intrigue surrounding their supposed connection.

Upon closer examination, it has been confirmed that the images circulating online are AI-generated and manipulated. Neither Shikhar nor Huma has publicly acknowledged any romantic involvement. In fact, Huma is reportedly dating her acting coach, Rachit Singh, with whom she was seen at a wedding earlier this year. The viral images are part of a growing trend where artificial intelligence is used to create misleading narratives about public figures.
Professional collaboration between Shikhar and Huma
Dhawan and Qureshi’s connection stems from their professional collaboration in the movie Double XL, where the left-handed batter made a special appearance. While this collaboration sparked interest among fans and media, it does not imply any personal relationship beyond their professional engagement
Post-retirement, Dhawan is focusing on his career in franchise leagues other than IPL and spending quality time with his son Zoravar, who resides in Australia. His social media presence reflects a more relaxed lifestyle as he shares updates about his travels and personal growth.
