Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has tied the knot once again, marrying entrepreneur Sophie Shine in a dreamy, festive ceremony that captured hearts on social media. The couple announced the big news with a joint post simply captioned: “Mr. & Mrs. Dhawan.”
Fellow cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal also shared photos from the celebration, captioning them, “Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai,” adding a touch of camaraderie and joy to the occasion.
A Regal Look for the Groom
Shikhar looked every bit the royal in a traditional white-on-white sherwani designed by Manish Malhotra. The subtle tonal embroidery gave texture and elegance without overpowering the look. He accessorized with a layered emerald mala featuring deep green stones, which contrasted beautifully against the ivory fabric, and completed the ensemble with a classic white turban.
A Blooming Bride
Sophie Shine stunned in a contemporary lehenga choli that blended tradition with a soft, ethereal palette. Her ivory silk lehenga was adorned with coral, peach, and sage-green floral motifs, creating a “blooming garden” effect. The choli featured a high neckline and long sleeves embellished with cascading pearl strands, giving the appearance of built-in jewelry and a touch of vintage glamour.
Sophie’s styling was a perfect mix of cultures: intricate mehendi decorated her hands, and a delicate maang tikka graced her forehead, while her voluminous blonde waves and dewy makeup added a modern, red-carpet touch.
From Public Glimpses to the Haldi
The couple’s romance had been in the spotlight since they were first seen together during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai, and Shikhar had subtly hinted at their relationship during a media conclave. Their pre-wedding festivities included a vibrant haldi ceremony on February 20, which Sophie shared on Instagram, offering fans a glimpse of the celebrations.
A New Chapter
This marks Shikhar Dhawan’s second marriage following his separation from his ex-wife, Aesha Mukerji, in October 2023. The former couple had been married for 11 years and share two daughters.
With this celebration, Shikhar and Sophie have officially embarked on their new journey together — a union that blends love, tradition, and modern elegance in equal measure.
