Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has confirmed he’s dating Sophie Shine, and the couple is now making headlines. They recently visited Sri Bageshwar Balaji Sanatan Math in Mumbai, where they sought blessings from Balaji Sarkar.
At the event, Dhirendra Shastri praised Dhawan on stage for his cricket career and charitable work with underprivileged kids.
Sophie accompanied Dhawan, and both received blessings from Dhirendra Shastri, the head of Bageshwar Dham. Dhawan was welcomed with a saffron turban, and the couple performed a puja at the mercury Shivling there.
The event took a fun turn when Dhawan and Dhirendra Shastri played a friendly cricket match. Dhawan batted first but was bowled out by Shastri. When Shastri batted, Dhawan bowled, and after getting bowled, Shastri jokingly told Dhawan that it was a no-ball.
Dhawan’s relationship with Sophie became public after he hinted at it in an interview. When asked about his girlfriend, he said she was the most beautiful woman in the room, and Sophie was present. The couple has since been spotted together at various events, including an India-Pakistan match, and on social media, where they follow each other on Instagram. They even made a reel together at Dhawan’s home.
