‘Yrr iski pain ko koi nhi smjh skta’ – Fans react as star India batter Shikhar Dhawan pens down emotional birthday post for son Zoravar

Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, while excelling in his professional life as the captain of the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League, has faced profound personal challenges. Currently not part of the Indian national team across any format, Dhawan has been grappling with the complexities of his personal life. Particularly, Dhawan’s separation from his wife, Ayesha Mukherjee, has been one of the biggest setbacks for him. However, it is the separation from his son, Zoravar, that has deeply affected him.

In an emotional Instagram post, Dhawan bared his heart, revealing the poignant reality of not having met his son in person for a year. On the occasion of his son’s birthday, the cricketer shared a screenshot of a video call with Zoravar, expressing the profound emotions that the separation has stirred.

“It’s been a year since I saw you in person, and now, for almost three months, I’ve been blocked from everywhere, so I’m posting the same picture to wish you, my boy, a very happy birthday,” Dhawan wrote, accompanied by a heartwarming image of Zoravar with his hands tucked into the pockets of his hoodie, while Dhawan smiles from the other side of the screen.

“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 further added.

“I write you messages almost every day,” writes Shikhar Dhawan.

Despite the physical distance, Dhawan conveys his unwavering love and pride for his son. Unable to connect directly, he claims to bridge the gap through telepathy, emphasising his deep emotional connection with Zoravar.

The post reflects a father’s enduring love and longing, as Dhawan openly shares his feelings of missing his son. He describes how, despite the separation, he diligently writes messages to Zoravar every day, seeking updates on his well-being and sharing snippets of his own life. “Despite not seeing you, I write you messages almost every day, asking about your well-being and daily life and sharing what I’m doing and what’s new in my life,” says Dhawan.

The concluding lines echo a father’s hope and positivity, expressing anticipation for the day when they can reunite, guided by the grace of God. “I love you loads, Zora. Papa,” Dhawan concludes, encapsulating the emotional depth of a father yearning for the physical presence of his beloved son, even in the face of digital barriers. The emotional post created a stir on social media as fans praised Dhawan for keeping his head high despite unforeseen situations.
