Shikhar Dhawan shares emotional message for son Zoravar, says 'I just want him to know...'
Shikhar Dhawan with son Zoravar. New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is estranged from his son following his separation from Aesha Mukerji. Dhawan, known for his aggressive batting style, has been privately dealing with the emotional consequences of this family separation. The 39-year-old recently expressed his strong desire to be reunited with his son. After eight years of marriage, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and Aesha Mukerji divorced in 2023. A Delhi court granted the divorce, citing mental cruelty by Mukerji. The ruling's most significant consequence for Dhawan was restricted visitation rights to his son. The court granted Dhawan a divorce but awarded his ex-wife, who resides in Australia with their son Zoravar, permanent custody. The court recognized Dhawan's relationship with his son and granted him visitation rights. The court ruling grants Dhawan visitation rights with Zoravar in both India and Australia, and permits regular video calls. In a recent interview on Ranveer Allahbadia's show, 'Taakat,' cricketer Shikhar Dhawan discussed the challenges he faced following his separation from Zoravar and shared how he manages those difficulties. 'After 20 years, my son will be 31-32 years old. I would tell him whatever you do be happy,' said Dhawan when asked bout what kind of mentorship he would like to give Zoravar after 20 years. 'And the way to be happy is to look inside yourself. Look at your shortcomings, recognise your strengths, and make them better,' he added. 'Now I am in that situation where I can't speak to my son, I don't make it a big deal. I feel like I am talking to him spiritually… I am hugging him, giving him love,' he said. 'I am living a good life but my son is living in another country. I don't know what he is doing, in what situation he is, I have no idea, I am not in touch,' he added. 'I just want him to know that his father is always with him. When he will have the strength to come here and if he wants to be with me with his will and heart, I am always there for him,' he shared emotionally. 'And of course as a father, any father will do this, he concluded. Dhawan has openly and repeatedly demonstrated his affection for his son, Zoravar, through various public platforms, including social media and interviews, emphasizing that his paternal love remains strong regardless of distance or legal constraints.

‘20 Years From Now, Zoravar Will Be 31-32': Shikhar Dhawan Shares Emotional Message to His Son Amid Years of Separation
Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has opened up about the emotional toll of being estranged from his son, Zoravar, and shared a heartfelt message for him, reflecting on the values he hopes his child will carry into adulthood. Speaking on a recent podcast hosted by Ranveer Allahbadia, Dhawan said it's been over two years since he last saw his 11-year-old son following a difficult divorce from his ex-wife Ayesha Mukherjee in 2023. Dhawan revealed that he has been cut off from all contact, including through social media, but continues to stay spiritually connected to Zoravar. 'Twenty years from now, Zoravar will be 31 or 32,' Dhawan said on the podcast. 'All I want to tell him is: be happy. Whatever you do, be happy doing it. The way to stay happy is to look within yourself, acknowledge your flaws, recognize your strengths, and improve. That's all I would want for him — happiness.' Coping Through Spirituality In a previous conversation with ANI, Dhawan described how he copes with the prolonged separation: 'It's been two years since I've seen him, one year since I last spoke to him. It's painful, but I've learned to live with it. I connect with him spiritually through affirmations. I feel I'm hugging him, talking to him, putting energy into that bond every day.' The Psychological Toll of Estrangement According to Neha Cadabam, senior psychologist and executive director at Cadabams Hospitals, prolonged separation from a child can lead to complicated grief, especially when the child is alive but inaccessible. 'Grief, helplessness, guilt, anger, and longing can coexist in such cases,' she explains. Cadabam emphasizes the importance of emotional expression and recommends tools such as journaling, therapy, creative outlets, and support groups for estranged parents. 'Healing begins with self-compassion,' she adds. 'Many parents blame themselves, but not all circumstances are within one's control.' A Message That Builds Resilience Cadabam notes that Dhawan's message to his son, focused on self-reflection and happiness, can have lasting emotional benefits. 'When a parent prioritizes internal growth over external achievements, it reinforces the idea that self-worth isn't dependent on validation from others. It plants the seeds of emotional intelligence,' she explains. Over time, such guidance can help children develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from failure, maintain mental balance, and adapt to life's challenges. 'Even if this message reaches Zoravar years later, it can be deeply grounding,' Cadabam concludes. 'It tells him that strength isn't about denying emotion, but embracing and understanding it.'

Kayakalp Global Emerges as India's Leading Integrative Dermatology Centre for Vitiligo and Psoriasis Treatment
VMPL Faridabad (Haryana) [India], May 27: In a country where chronic skin diseases affect millions, one institution is rewriting the rulebook. Kayakalp Global, based in Faridabad, is rapidly emerging as India's foremost destination for integrative dermatology -- blending Ayurveda, modern medicine, and technology to treat stubborn conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis at their root. Today, it is widely recognized as a trusted destination for psoriasis and vitiligo treatment in India, offering holistic, science-backed solutions to patients across the country and abroad. Founded in 1991, Kayakalp Global has grown under the leadership of Dr. Samyak Dhawan, Co-founder and Director of Operations. An MBBS doctor who chose to walk an unconventional path, Dr. Dhawan envisioned a healthcare model that didn't just treat symptoms cosmetically but addressed the root cause of chronic autoimmune skin conditions. His approach has resulted in a large-scale, multi-city operation with over 150 medical professionals, including Ayurvedic experts, MBBS doctors, dermatologists, and patient care advisors. In a recent milestone event, the organisation, in collaboration with its NGO arm -- the Indian Vitiligo Association -- hosted a free mega medical camp, providing subsidized care and consultations to over 500 patients in a single day. "Skin conditions like vitiligo are not just medical issues, they are deeply social and emotional," said Dr. Dhawan. "Our goal is to ensure that quality care reaches even the remotest corners of India." Kayakalp Global has also made waves digitally, with its YouTube channel crossing 300,000 subscribers -- making it one of India's largest online communities for skin health advocacy. The platform features detailed patient success stories, expert discussions, and myth-busting content that challenges the stigma surrounding visible skin conditions. A standout feature of Kayakalp's model is its science-backed Ayurvedic formulations, lab-tested to show clinically verified reductions in inflammation markers such as Substance P and Histamine. "This is the new face of Ayurveda," said Dr. Dhawan. "Rooted in tradition, yet validated by modern science." The brand's telemedicine infrastructure is another pillar of its outreach, enabling treatment access to patients across tier 2 and tier 3 cities, along with lifetime care programs that continue even after visible recovery. With a blend of empathy, evidence, and innovation, Kayakalp Global is now positioning itself as a national leader in integrative dermatology -- pioneering a new era in the treatment of chronic skin conditions with both credibility and compassion.

Dhawan recalls when broken-arm heroics couldn't save him from Team India axe: ‘Might as well die on the pitch'
Despite suffering a broken arm during a Test in 2016, former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan continued to bat but was later dropped from the Test team due to poor form. read more Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has revealed one of the toughest phases of his international career when he was shown the door despite batting for the team with a broken arm. The incident took place during India's second Test against New Zealand at Kolkata, which was played from 30 September to 3 October 2016. Before the Eden Gardens Test, former opener Dhawan had gone five innings without a single fifty-plus score and in the last 13 innings, he had scored just one half-century. Dhawan inched closer to getting dropped from the Indian team after scoring just one run in the Kolkata Test's first innings. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Dhawan's broken heroics couldn't save him from axe The former Delhi cricketer needed big runs in the second innings, but he was hit by a Trent Boult delivery, suffering a massive arm injury. 'The most difficult phase of my career, there was a time when I was really desperate. I knew that if I don't score runs I would be out of the team. We had a Test match in Kolkata, against New Zealand,' Dhawan said on Ranveer Allahbadia's new YouTube show called 'Taakat'. 'First innings I got out, second innings I went out and got hit by a ball by Trent Boult, it broke my arm. 'I knew that if I choose to sit out of that innings, I would be out of that team. So I decided no, I'm going to play, I'm going to see out the innings. Pehle hi mara hua toh hoon, toh puura marke jaun na (I'm dead either way, so might as well die completely on the pitch and go out)' said Dhawan. Despite suffering a broken arm, Dhawan decided to continue batting, however, he could only score 17 runs in the innings, forcing the selectors to pick a new opener in the next match. That, however, didn't break Dhawan's spirit as he realised that staying happy is the most valuable thing. 'I played with a broken arm, got out on 15-20 runs, and after that I was out of the Test team. Then I realised that when I introspected, I was too desperate for that place. It's a very valuable place, people live like kings there. I was cribbing a little. I did put in a lot of work, but I worked with a desperate energy. That's why I didn't get the results. So I asked myself, what is most important for me in life? Happiness is most important, that I stay happy,' said Dhawan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This was my dream, and I lived out my dream, set a world record, and I knew this would never stop, it would keep going. The race will never stop, someone will always be there,' he added. Dhawan scored 187 on his Test debut against Australia in Mohali, which is the fastest century by a player on debut in Tests.
