Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and his wife Aarti Ahlawat are reportedly headed towards separation after two decades of marriage. Speculation about their marital discord has intensified following recent social media activity. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the couple, who tied the knot in 2004, has unfollowed each other on social media, sparking divorce rumors.
The rumors gained traction after Sehwag posted photos from his Diwali celebrations featuring only his son and mother, with Aarti notably absent. Additionally, Sehwag shared updates about his visit to the Vishwa Nagayakshi Temple in Palakkad two weeks ago without any mention of Aarti. While Sehwag has not made any official statement regarding the matter, his social media activities have fueled further speculation.
A Love Story That Began in Childhood
Virender Sehwag and Aarti Ahlawat share a long history, having known each other since childhood. Their friendship began when Sehwag was seven years old, and Aarti was five. After 17 years of friendship, Sehwag proposed to Aarti in 2002, and she immediately accepted. The couple got married in 2004 and have two sons, Aryavir and Vedant.
Who is Aarti Ahlawat?
Aarti Ahlawat is the daughter of Delhi-based lawyer Suraj Singh Ahlawat. Their relationship faced initial resistance from Sehwag’s family due to traditional family norms discouraging marriages between close relatives. However, the couple eventually gained the family’s approval and tied the knot.
While the news of their reported separation remains unconfirmed, the absence of Aarti in recent family events and Sehwag’s social media activities have left fans speculating about the future of their relationship.
