TIL Desk Sports/ Shikhar Dhawan and Ayesha Mukerji have ended their marriage. Dhawan married Melbourne-based Ayesha in October 2012 after they met on Facebook. They have a son Zoravar, who was born in 2014, and two daughters from Ayesha’s previous marriage.
Ayesha confirmed the news on Instagram on Tuesday. ‘I THOUGHT DIVORCE WAS A DIRTY WORD UNTIL I BECAME A 2 TIME DIVORCEE,’ she said. ‘Funny how words can have such powerful meanings and associations. I experienced this first hand as a divorcee. The first time I went through a divorce I was soooooooo fu@kn scared. I felt like I had failed and I was doing something so wrong at that time.’
‘I felt as if I had let everyone down and even felt selfish. I felt that I was letting my parents down, I felt that I was letting my children down and even to some extent I felt as if I was letting God down. Divorce was such a dirty word.’ ‘So now imagine, I have to go through it a second time. Woooahhhhhh. That is terrifying. Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove.’
