**NEW DELHI** – Reports are circulating that Virender Sehwag, one of India’s most celebrated cricketers, and his wife Aarti Ahlawat, are separating after nearly two decades of marriage. While neither Sehwag nor Ahlawat have publicly commented, the Hindustan Times reports the couple have been living separately for several months and have unfollowed each other on social media.
The speculation intensified after Sehwag’s Diwali posts featured his sons and mother, but conspicuously omitted Aarti. Sources close to the family have also suggested the pair are no longer together.
Sehwag and Ahlawat, distant cousins, met at a family wedding when Sehwag was seven and Ahlawat was five. They married in 2004 after a three-year courtship and have two sons, Aryavir and Vedant. Aarti was a constant presence throughout Sehwag’s illustrious cricket career.
Though Sehwag has remained largely private about his personal life since retiring from international cricket in 2015, the absence of any official denial fuels growing concerns among fans. The news comes as a shock to many who have long admired the couple as one of Indian cricket’s most enduring partnerships. The situation remains developing, and further updates are awaited.
