Shikhar Dhawan opens up on painful separation from his son Zoravar, says ‘I still message him, even though…’

New Delhi: Shikhar Dhawan has publicly discussed the emotional challenges he faces due to his separation from his son, Zoravar, after his divorce from Aesha Mukherjee.

In an interview with ANI, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan expressed his sadness at being separated from his son for two years, with over a year having passed since their last conversation. “I want him to be happy and healthy. I still message him every three or four days, even though I am blocked. I don’t expect him to read them. I don’t mind if he doesn’t read them — it is my job to reach out. I will keep doing it,” Dhawan said.

A cricketer explained that his spiritual practice helps him maintain a strong bond with his eleven-year-old child. “It has been two years since I have seen my son, one year since I last spoke to him. It has been difficult, but you learn to live with it. I miss him and speak to him spiritually… I feel through affirmations that I am conversing with him every day, hugging him. I put my energy into it spiritually. It is the only way I can bring back my son,” Dhawan added.

“I already feel that I’m with him, speaking to him, playing with him. When I sit for my meditation, I visualise those things,” he added. “My son is 11 years old now, but I have seen him for only two and-a-half years of his life.”
