Moving on from the past
During the summit, Dhawan addressed his past relationship, stating, “Yes, I have moved on.

There were good moments, there were bad moments, and I am grateful for all of them.” This mature perspective highlights his growth since the end of his marriage.
A playful approach to love
When asked if he is ready to love again, Dhawan responded with a playful quip: “I am always in love!. His charm was evident as he skilfully dodged questions about his current relationship status. “See, I know how to dodge bouncers in cricket, and I know you’re throwing one at me now. But I won’t get caught!” he joked, maintaining an air of mystery around his personal life.
Hints about his girlfriend
Dhawan’s rumoured girlfriend has been identified as Sophie Shine from Ireland.

When pressed for details about her, he cryptically stated, “For the wise, a hint is enough,” and added with a smile, “The most beautiful girl in this room is my girlfriend. Now, you figure it out!”
This playful banter has only fuelled speculation among fans about the nature of their relationship.
