Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan might have found love after his divorce from Aesha Mukherjee. He grabbed headlines with his presence at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As the official ambassador for this edition of the tournament, Dhawan attended India’s match against Bangladesh in Dubai, where he was spotted with Sophie Shine, reportedly an Ireland-based business consultant.
During his visit, Dhawan met the Indian team, but fans were more curious about the woman accompanying him. The former opener has been single since his divorce, and rumors of him dating Sophie have been circulating in the news for a while.
Who is Sophie Shine?
According to reports, Sophie Shine is a product consultant from Ireland. Her repeated appearances alongside Shikhar Dhawan have fueled speculation among fans about their relationship.
Shikhar Dhawan and Aesha Mukharjee divorce
Shikhar Dhawan and his estranged wife, Aesha Mukherjee, ended their 11-year marriage in October 2023. Dhawan has largely kept his personal life private, but reports suggest that Aesha’s reluctance to move to India contributed to their separation.
In October 2023, the Delhi Court granted Shikhar Dhawan a divorce from his former wife, Ayesha Mukerji, citing ‘cruelty’ and ‘mental agony’ caused by his ex-wife as the grounds for separation.
