Shikhar Dhawan was married to Aesha Mukerji, who had two daughters from her previous marriage. Shikhar and Aesha had a son together. Yesterday, court granted him divorce on the grounds of cruelty by his wife.
The court observed :
1. The wife had agreed to live with him in India at the time of marriage but refused later due to her commitment to her ex-husband and their two daughters in Australia. She took their son with her, forcing Dhawan to live alone in India.
2. She demanded and acquired ownership of 99% of Dhawan's three Australian properties, along with joint ownership of two others, all of which he had purchased with his money.
3. She purposely sent defamatory messages about Dhawan to various authorities in BCCI, owners of the IPL team, and his fellow cricketers to pressure and humiliate Dhawan, ensuring she received her monthly maintenance on time.
4. The Court also acknowledged Aesha's dispute with Dhawan for taking his ailing father to the hospital during his COVID-19 infection.
5. In 2020, Aesha and their son came to India for an extended stay, while her daughters remained in Australia. She compelled Dhawan to send AU $15,500 monthly to her daughters from her previous marriage.
Sad what this man had to go through.
Marrying someone who understands your mental health is so important nowadays, that is the person you will be going home to every day after a tough day they should be your escape; your peace and happiness and not be the cause of your grief and tears.
