Former Indian cricket opener Virender Sehwag and his wife, Aarti Ahlawat, are reportedly ending their 20-year marriage, according to a report by HT City. The couple, childhood friends who married in 2004, have allegedly been living separately for several months, with divorce rumors gaining traction.
Signs of Growing Distance
Speculations about trouble in their relationship began when Sehwag and Aarti reduced their public and social media appearances together. During the 2024 Diwali celebrations, Sehwag posted photos with his elder son Aryavir and his mother but omitted pictures of Aarti and their younger son, Vedant. This added fuel to the rumors.
Additionally, Sehwag unfollowed Aarti on Instagram, while Aarti, who has a verified account with 178k followers, made her profile private after reports of their separation emerged. Sehwag’s last Instagram post featuring Aarti was in April 2023, and he shared no public post on their 20th wedding anniversary on April 22, 2024.
A Love Story That Began in Childhood
Virender Sehwag and Aarti Ahlawat’s love story began in the 1980s when they met through family connections. Sehwag was seven, and Aarti was five. Their bond grew stronger over the years, leading Sehwag to propose to Aarti when he was 21. They got married in a grand ceremony in April 2004 at the residence of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
The couple has two sons: Aryavir, born in 2007, and Vedant, born in 2010. Sehwag has always been vocal about his love for his family, but the recent turn of events has left fans surprised.
Recent Social Media Buzz
Social media discussions intensified after the news of their separation broke. Sehwag has not addressed the rumors, and no official statements have been made by either party. Fans noticed the lack of recent posts featuring Aarti, though Sehwag continues to share moments with his sons.
In November 2024, Sehwag posted a humorous message to his son Aryavir after he scored 297 runs in a Cooch Behar Trophy match. Sehwag reminded Aryavir of an old promise to gift him a Ferrari if he ever surpassed his career-high score of 319.
Conclusion
As of now, neither Virender Sehwag nor Aarti Ahlawat has publicly addressed the reports of their separation. Fans of the cricket legend are hoping for clarity soon. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
