Dhawan recently married his girlfriend Sophie Shine in a private ceremony.
While Dhawan has often spoken about how much he misses to be with his son Zoravar, he never said anything malicious about his ex-wife in the public domain.
Amid his second marriage, however, a viral social media post claimed that Dhawan had said his ex-wife once told him that no one would marry him after she left. The post further suggested that by remarrying, the 40-year-old had given a fitting reply.
Taking to X, Dhawan on Monday (February 23) denied making any such comments and urged people not to associate fabricated statements with his name.
"I have come across some posts on social media attributing a disappointing statement about my personal life. I have never carried baggage from the past, be it on the pitch or outside. I firmly believe in the power of positivity while respecting my past," Dhawan wrote.
"This is a new chapter in my life, and I feel truly grateful for the love and blessings I have received from my fans, friends, family, well-wishers, and the media. I strongly urge people not to trade on my name with clickbait, insensitive and false statements on social media. Let's spread love and positivity. Thank you!," he added.
