India’s veteran cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is currently making multiple headlines these days. Whether it’s about his snub from India’s squad for the ongoing ODI World Cup or reports about his divorce, the cricketer is all over social media. However, despite these disheartening conditions, Dhawan has always kept a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, in a surprising and heartwarming gesture, Dhawan once again made headlines by appearing on a news channel wearing a mask made famous by Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan. A similar mask was put up by Shah Rukh in his recently released superhit movie Jawan.

Shikhar Dhawan, known for his flamboyant style both on and off the cricket field, certainly caught everyone’s attention with this unexpected tribute to the Bollywood legend. The ‘Jawan’ mask carries a patriotic sentiment and is closely associated with Shah Rukh Khan’s character in the film, who played the role of a brave and charismatic officer.

Dhawan granted divorce from wife on grounds of mental cruelty

Dhawan’s choice to wear the ‘Jawan’ mask on the news channel not only showcased his love for Bollywood but also proved how fun-loving guy he is. This unique and thoughtful gesture resonated with fans and viewers alike, sparking conversations across social media platforms.

While Shikhar Dhawan‘s appearance with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ mask on a news channel may have been unexpected, it undeniably added a touch of Bollywood glamour to the cricketing world and showcased the depth of admiration and respect that celebrities have for each other across different domains.

A few days ago, a Delhi court officially approved Dhawan’s divorce from his estranged wife, Aesha Mukerji, citing his claim of enduring mental cruelty as the reason. The judge upheld all the accusations Dhawan presented in his divorce request against his spouse. According to Dhawan’s petition, Mukerji initially promised to reside with him in India but was unable to fulfil her commitments due to her prior marriage and two daughters with her ex-husband.
