The report also points out that Aarti was absent from Sehwag’s recent Diwali celebrations, where he shared photos with his sons and mother but did not include her. Additionally, two weeks ago, the cricketer visited the Vishwa Nagayakshi temple in Palakkad and posted about it on Instagram, but there was no mention of Aarti in his post. As of now, Sehwag has not made any official statement regarding the rumours.
Virender Sehwag and Aarti Ahlawat’s love story began when they were just children. They first met at a wedding, Sehwag was seven years old, and Aarti was five. Their families were distantly related, and they remained in touch over the years, meeting occasionally at family gatherings.
As they grew older, their friendship turned into love, and at 21, Sehwag proposed to Aarti. After dating for three years, they decided to get married, but their parents were initially hesitant about their relationship. However, with time, they accepted the couple’s decision.
On April 22, 2004, Sehwag and Aarti tied the knot in a private ceremony held at former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s bungalow in New Delhi. The couple has two sons, Aryaveer, born in 2007, and Vedant, born in 2010.
Sehwag’s Professional Journey
Born into a Jat family from Haryana, Sehwag later moved to Delhi, where he began his cricketing career. He made his debut for the Delhi cricket team in 1997-98 and went on to represent India from 1999 to 2013. Known for his aggressive batting style, Sehwag became one of the greatest openers in cricket history.
After retiring from international cricket in 2015, Sehwag remained active in the sport, currently serving as a member of the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel of the National Anti-Doping Agency.
