Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has responded to false claims circulating about his personal life. The controversy began after his second marriage to Sophie Shine. He clarified that certain viral statements attributed to him are completely untrue.
The issue gained attention when a post claimed that Dhawan said his ex wife had told him no one would marry him after their separation. The same post suggested that his second marriage was a reply to that remark. Dhawan firmly denied making any such comments.
He took to social media to address the matter directly. Dhawan said he has always maintained a positive outlook and never carried negativity from the past. He added that the statements being shared do not reflect his words or thoughts.
Calling it a new phase in his life, he expressed gratitude for the support he has received. He also urged people not to spread false or insensitive content for attention. Dhawan emphasised that he wants to move forward peacefully.
Dhawan married Sophie Shine on February 21 in a private ceremony. Sophie is an Irish professional working in a financial company. The couple kept the event simple and away from media glare.
In 2024, Dhawan announced his retirement from international cricket. Over the years, he played a key role in several important victories for India. His recent statement aims to end speculation and focus on his future.
