Swashbuckling Indian opening batter Shikhar Dhawan recently poured his emotions into an Instagram post as his son Zoravar celebrated another year of life. The heartfelt note revealed a yearning for connection and a father’s enduring love despite physical separation.
In the midst of a busy and demanding cricket career, Dhawan took a moment to express the emotions that had been building up over a year of separation from his son. The challenges faced and the emotional toll it took set the stage for a truly touching narrative.
A single screenshot shared by Dhawan encapsulated the depth of his emotions. Zoravar, with hands in his hoodie pockets, and Dhawan, smiling from afar, spoke volumes about the unspoken bond between father and son.
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar responded to Shikhar Dhawan’s heart-breaking post and extended his support for the Indian cricketer by motivating him to be strong in these difficult times. Akshay Kumar said that being a father he can feel what Dhawan must be feeling right now and tried to pacify him with his kind words.

Dhawan’s words echoed the sentiments of a father yearning for the presence of their child. Shikar in a post on Instagram wrote, “It’s been a year since I saw you in person, and now, for almost three months, I’ve been blocked from everywhere so posting the same picture to wish you, my boy, a very Happy Birthday,” wrote Shikhar Dhawan while sharing a screenshot of the video call with his son Zoravar.
The picture shows Zoravar standing with his hands inside the pockets of his hoodie, while Shikhar Dhawan is seen smiling. 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.”
“Despite not seeing you, I write you messages almost every day, asking about your well-being and daily life, sharing what I’m doing and what’s new in my life. Love you loads Zora. Papa.”
Many Indian fans of both Shikhar Dhawan and Akshay Kumar took to X to express their views on the whole issue. Some of the tweets on X are:
