Love is in the air, and this time, it's coming straight from one of India's most stylish left-handers. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan is all set to tie the knot with Sophie Shine.
The pre-wedding festivities have begun, and we just can't keep calm! On Thursday, Shikhar shared pictures from his Sangeet night with fiancée Sophie Shine.
Taking to Instagram, he posted a loved-up photo with his soon-to-be wife from the ceremony. The couple exuded elegance in traditional shimmery ivory and gold outfits. He captioned the post, "Sangeet night. Almost the Dhawans."
It was a visual treat to see Sophie embracing Hindu wedding rituals. She took to her Instagram story to flaunt her mehendi, wearing a short black body-hugging tank top and matching track pants for the ceremony. Sophie also shared reels and videos from the sangeet ceremony and posted photos with her bridesmaids.
Her mehendi featured peacocks, elephants, and floral motifs extending well past her wrists. She captioned it, "Work in progress."
Shikhar Dhawan got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Sophie Shine on January 12. Sharing the happy news on social media, he wrote, "From shared smiles to shared dreams. Grateful for the love, the blessings, and every good wish for our engagement as we choose togetherness forever. ❤️ — Shikhar & Sophie."
Sophie and Shikhar's love story
The couple reportedly met for the first time at a restaurant in Dubai. Rumors about their relationship began circulating when Sophie was spotted at Punjab Kings matches in 2024 and later at the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025. However, they chose to keep their relationship private for a long time.
In June 2025, Sophie officially confirmed their relationship on social media. Since then, the couple has shared glimpses of their life together through fun reels and heartwarming posts.
Following Shikhar's retirement from international cricket in August 2024, Sophie has been a strong source of support, especially after his divorce from Ayesha Mukherjee.
