New Delhi: Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Ayesha Mukherjee have officially parted ways, putting an end to their eight years of marriage.
A day ahead of India’s T20 World Cup team announcement, Delhi Capitals and India opener Shikhar Dhawan has suffered a personal blow as his wife Mukherji announced the separation in a post on Instagram late Tuesday.
"Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove. So when my second marriage broke down it was really scary," she wrote.
"Divorce means choosing myself and not settling and sacrificing my own life for the sake of a marriage. Divorce means even though you do your best and try your best things sometimes do not work out and that's ok," the Melbourne-based added.
