Sharing a screenshot of the video call with his son, Shikhar, a left-handed batter revealed that he hasn't been unable to see his son from alnmost a year.
"It's been a year since I saw you in person, and now, for almost three months, I’ve been blocked from everywhere so posting the same picture to wish you, my boy, a very Happy Birthday,” an emotional Dhawan wrote with a picture in which Zoravar was seen standing with his hands inside the pockets of his hoodie.
In the next few lines, Shikhar adviced his son to be humble, compassionate and patient. "Even if I can’t connect with you directly, I connect with you through Telepathy. I am so proud of you, and I know you’re doing great and growing up nicely. Papa always misses you and loves you. He’s always positive, waiting with a smile for the time when we will meet again by the grace of God. Be naughty but not destructive, be a giver, be humble, compassionate, patient, and strong," he added.
Dhawan and his spouse Aesha got divorced on October 4, 2022 on basis of mental cruelty. In their ruling the court had granted Shikhar Dhawan right for visitation with his son for specific duration and also allowed him to have video calls with his son.
