Ayesha Mukherjee’s First Husband

Around 1998 or 1999, Ayesha wed an Australian businessman. Together, they had two daughters before divorcing in 2012. In the Australian suburb of Narre Warren, near Melbourne, the first daughter, Rhea, was born in 2000. The couple gave Aliyah as her name.

Rhea, the second child, was born in 2005, which was nearly five years later. Years later, Ayesha and her husband experienced a difficult time, and they ultimately decided to divorce one another in 2012.

Ayesha’s Marriage With Shikhar Dhawan

Through Facebook, Shikhar Dhawan got to know Ayesha. Famous Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh introduced the left-handed Indian Opener to Ayesha. Ayesha knew Harbhajan Sign since she enjoys playing sports and watching cricket. Whether it was sports or tattoos, their shared hobbies drew them together.

Despite Ayesha being 10 years older than Shikhar, they both got engaged in 2009. Shikhar has said that he had a difficult time persuading his parents, particularly his father, Mahendra Pal Dhawan, to approve of the marriage.

Have a look at the tweet below, which verifies that Ayesha was 10 years older than Shikhar.

But Shikhar was able to persuade his father in the end with the aid of his mother, Sunaina Dhawan. Shikhar, however, decided to make his goal of becoming India’s top opener his priority, forcing the marriage to be postponed for a while. Shikhar had time to establish a warm relationship with her daughter because Ayesha had concurred with the sentiment.

Eventually, on October 30, 2012, the couple wed. They wed in a modest, conventional Sikh ceremony. However, numerous cricket players and celebrities were present at their wedding celebration.
