Even if I can’t connect with you directly, I connect with you through Telepathy. I am so proud of you, and I know you’re doing great and growing up nicely,” Dhawan captioned the post.

“Papa always misses you and loves you. He’s always positive, waiting with a smile for the time when we will meet again by the Grace of God.

Despite not seeing you, I write you messages almost every day, asking about your well-being and daily life, sharing what I’m doing and what’s new in my life,” the caption further stated.

Shikhar Dhawan was offered divorced from Aesha Mukerji

Recently, Delhi's Patiala House Courts granted cricketer Shikhar Dhawan a divorce from his wife, Aesha Mukerji on the basis of allegations of mental cruelty. Judge Harish Kumar accepted Dhawan's claims as Mukerji chose not to contest them. The court acknowledged Dhawan's emotional distress from living separately from his son, granting visitation rights for both India and Australia, along with permitted video calls.

While not deciding on permanent custody, the court instructed Mukerji to facilitate the child's visits to India, including overnight stays during school vacations. Recognizing Dhawan's international cricket stature the court advised seeking government assistance for visitation or custody matters, especially concerning his son's counterpart in Australia.
