Shikhar Dhawan didn't have a great IPL 2024 campaign. What seemed to be like his last dance in the stage of IPL remained incomplete as he played only five matches for Punjab Kings and got ruled out of the remainder of the competition. Dhawan has not been in the scheme of India in International cricket for some time now. After the Bangladesh tour of India in 2022, Dhawan has been replaced by Shubman Gill and he didn't make it to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as well. Dhawan has not been playing in domestic cricket as well and he has been more in the news for his latest involvement in the entertainment industry. He has been also involved in a JioCinema show named 'Dhawan Karenge'. Shikhar Dhawan Pens Down Special Farewell Note For Dinesh Karthik As the Latter Retires From IPL (See Post).

In the show "Dhawan Karenge', Shikhar Dhawan revealed that he once heard the rumour that he was marrying former India women's team captain Mithali Raj. For the southpaw, this was one of the most bizarre rumours he had heard about himself. "I heard that I was getting married to Mithali Raj," the opening batter said in show on Jio Cinema, Dhawan Karenge. Mithali is currently a mentor with the Women's Premier League team Gujarat Giants. Akshay Kumar’s Son Aarav Wears Second-Hand Clothes; Actor Makes Surprising Revelations on Shikhar Dhawan’s Show Dhawan Karenge.

Dhawan recently had his divorce on grounds of "cruelty" inflicted on the cricketer by his estranged wife Aesha Dhawan. Mr Dhawan and Aesha Mukherjee married in 2012 and have a 10-year-old son, Zoraver Dhawan. Both Aesha and Zoraver are Australian citizens. Aesha was previously married and has two daughters with first husband. Dhawan's divorce can be the reason of such a wild rumour being floated. Mithali meanwhile is yet unmarried and there is no report of her starting a new journey anytime soon.
