Dubai: Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has spoken out against false claims circulating on social media following his marriage to long-time partner Sophie Shine on Saturday.
The 40-year-old tied the knot with the Irish native in a private ceremony in Delhi on Saturday. However, shortly after wedding photos surfaced online, several social media accounts began sharing a fabricated quote allegedly attributed to Dhawan about his former wife, Aesha Mukerji.
The viral posts claimed that Dhawan described his second marriage as a “befitting reply” to his ex-wife, alleging she had once told him that no woman would ever marry him again. According to the false quote, he supposedly said: “When my first wife left me, she told me that no girl would ever marry me. But by getting married again, I have given her a fitting reply. Won’t you congratulate me on my wedding?”
As the posts gained traction on social media, Dhawan issued a clarification, firmly distancing himself from the statement.
In a message shared on his social media accounts on Monday, he responded with dignity, stressing that he does not dwell on the past and believes in maintaining a positive outlook.
