Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, who is within the news for his divorce from Aesha Mukherjee, appeared on Comedy Nights With Kapil in 2014. During the episode, host Kapil Sharma asked him a few Bollywood actress he would really like to require out on a date, but he played it safe.
“Hum toh pehle hi haath jodte hai. Humari shaadi tudwani hai aapne (I fold my hands and excuse myself from this question. does one want to interrupt my marriage),” Shikhar told Kapil. “Banda jitna marzi bada celebrity ho, biwi ke aage woh pati hi hai (No matter how big a star one is, he’s just a husband to his wife).”
Shikhar then gave a shout-out to Aesha and said that she was his ‘favourite actress’ that he would really like to require her out on a date. His response got a thumbs-up from Navjot Singh Sidhu and Kapil. “Meri wife TV pe dekhegi show, taareef toh jaani chahiye (My wife will watch the show on TV, I should praise her),” he added.

Earlier in the week , Aesha confirmed that she and Shikhar split after eight years of marriage. She wrote in an Instagram post, “I thought divorce was a unclean word until I became a 2 time divorcee. Funny how words can have such powerful meanings and associations. I experienced this first hand as a divorcee. the primary time I went through a divorce i used to be soooooooo fu@kn scared. I felt like I had failed and that i was doing something so wrong at that point .”

Aesha said that the primary time around, she felt like she ‘let everyone down’, including her parents and even God. “So now imagine, I even have to travel through it a second time. Woooahhhhhh. that’s terrifying. Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove. So when my second marriage broke down it had been really scary. All the emotions I felt once I went through it the primary time came flooding in. Fear, failure and disappointment x 100,” she wrote.
