Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has stepped into a new phase of his life, marrying Sophie Shine in a warm and intimate ceremony surrounded by close friends, family and a few well-known faces from the cricketing world. The wedding, held in Delhi-NCR, blended traditional rituals with joyful, candid moments that quickly found their way onto social media and into the hearts of fans.
Dressed in an elegant sherwani, Dhawan looked relaxed and visibly happy, while Sophie Shine complemented him in a graceful bridal outfit. The pictures showed more than just the rituals, they captured laughter, dancing and quiet, emotional exchanges that reflected the couple’s journey together.
Among those present at the celebrations were BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla and cricketers Rohit Sharma and Irfan Pathan, underlining Dhawan’s strong bonds within the cricket fraternity.
Dhawan and Sophie had kept their relationship largely private in the early days, making their public appearance together only last year. Their engagement earlier this year was followed by the wedding a few weeks later, making it a quick but meaningful transition into married life.
For Dhawan, who has spoken openly in the past about personal challenges and the importance of family, the ceremony seemed to mark a moment of renewal. The cricketer, fondly known as “Gabbar,” appeared at ease throughout the festivities, often seen smiling, dancing and posing playfully with guests.
Sophie, who comes from a professional background in marketing and corporate consulting, is said to share Dhawan’s interest in his off-field ventures and charitable work, something friends describe as a strong foundation for their partnership.
Wishes poured in online from the sports and entertainment worlds, with actors and fellow players congratulating the couple and calling it a “beautiful new beginning.”
