While veteran India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Aesha Mukherjee separated some time back, neither has spoken much on the reason behind their decision to go their own ways. The duo had met on Facebook and despite Dhawan being 10 years younger than Aesha, love flourished.

She had two daughters from her previous marriage, and after the two tied the knot in October 2012, became parents to a son Zoravar.

Dhawan finally opened up on the subject, explaining how he and his wife decided to go their separate way. The cricketer also spoke on the topic of 'remarriage', while lending an important piece of advice to youngsters who get into relationships.

He further admitted that he ‘failed’ in the marriage, but doesn't want to point fingers at others because the decisions he took were his own.

"I failed because the final decision is the person's own. I don't point fingers at others. I failed because I was not aware of that field. The things I talk about cricket today, I wouldn't have been aware of the same 20 years back. It comes with experience,” Dhawan said on Sports Tak.

He also revealed that his divorce case is still going on and though he didn’t rule out marrying again, said that he isn’t thinking about that.

"Right now my divorce case is going on. Tomorrow, if I want to marry again, I will be much more wiser in that field. I'll know what kind of girl I need; someone whom I can spend my life with. When I was 26-27 and I was continuously playing, I was not in any relationship. I used to have fun, but was never in a relationship.

So, when I fell in love, I couldn't see the red flags. But today, if I fall in love, I will be able to see those red flags. So, if I see those red flags, I will walk out. If not, I will carry on," he added.

Dhawan also advised youngsters to experience relationships and understand if they enjoy their partner's company.

“Youngsters, when they get into relationships, they need to experience it. That's important. They should not take an emotional decision in haste and get married. Spend a couple of years with the person and see whether your cultures match and whether you enjoy each others' company.

It's also like a match; some might need 4-5 relationships, others might take 8-9 to figure things out. There is nothing bad in that. You will learn from it, and when you take a decision on marriage, you will have some experience," he said.
