**NEW DELHI** – Former Indian cricket star Virender Sehwag and his wife, Aarti Ahlawat, are reportedly separating after two decades of marriage. The Hindustan Times reported that the couple, who married in 2004, have unfollowed each other on social media, fueling speculation about their relationship status.

Sources suggest Sehwag and Ahlawat have been living separately for several months and a divorce is likely. The couple have two sons, Aryaveer (born 2007) and Vedant (born 2010). Last Diwali, Sehwag posted pictures on social media with his sons and mother, notably omitting Aarti.

Sehwag, known for his aggressive batting style, married Ahlawat in a high-security ceremony arranged by the late BJP leader Arun Jaitley in April 2004. A highly decorated cricketer, Sehwag played his first ODI in 1999, his first Test match in 2001, and served as stand-in captain and vice-captain for India. He played for the Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in the IPL and represented Delhi and Haryana in domestic cricket. He was part of the Indian teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 Cricket World Cup.

While the report focuses on Sehwag’s personal life, the article also briefly mentions speculation surrounding a potential split in the Shiv Sena party in Maharashtra, involving Minister Uday Samant, but this is largely unrelated to the main story.
