Shikhar Dhawan, the former Indian cricketer known for his flamboyant on-field performances, has recently opened up about his love life and future wedding plans during the Times Now Summit 2025. His candid remarks have sparked widespread interest, especially following his divorce from Aesha Mukerji in October 2023.

Moving on from the past

During the summit, Dhawan addressed his past relationship, stating, “Yes, I have moved on. I wouldn’t say I was unlucky in love—rather, my choices came from inexperience.” He reflected on his journey, acknowledging both the good and bad moments: “It was a learning curve for me. 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.
