“I was not in pain. I was just expressing my thoughts. It has been five months since I have spoken to him; I was just expressing emotions. I am an emotional guy, and I was just trying to send love to him because if I will be sad while thinking about him, that negative energy will get him. I never realized that this post will go viral. I just wrote it from my heart,” shared Shikhar Dhawan.

“I write messages to him every day; I don’t know whether he is receiving those or not, whether he is reading it or not. I don’t have any expectations. I have accepted it. I am a father, and I am trying to do my duty. I miss him,” Shikhar Dhawan expressed, highlighting the longing for physical closeness with his son.
