"When I used to visit my son in Australia for a week, he used to meet me only for a few hours. I want to spend quality time with him, want him to sleep in my arms, I want to hug him tight, give him the father's love he deserves. I haven't had a word with him for the last 5-6 months," said Dhawan.

Dhawan and Aesha Mukherjee exchanged vows in October 2012. Before marrying Dhawan, Aesha had two daughters from her previous marriage. In 2021, she publicly announced her decision to divorce Dhawan through a social media post.

Due to Aesha's commitments in Australia, she continued to reside there, leading to Dhawan's separation from their son, Zoravar. The court recognized Dhawan's distress caused by the separation from his child and the emotional challenges he faced due to the prevailing circumstances.
