The rumors were further fueled after fans noticed that Sehwag and Aarti had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Adding to the intrigue, Aarti has since made her Instagram account private
During Diwali 2024, Sehwag's social media post sparked additional rumors. While the post featured celebratory images of him with his mother and sons, Aryavir and Vedant, it conspicuously excluded Aarti and made no mention of her, which fans took as a subtle indicator of marital discord
Neither Sehwag nor Aarti has released any official statements regarding their relationship, leaving the public to speculate
The couple's story dates back to the early 1980s when they first met at a family gathering. What began as childhood friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship, culminating in their marriage in 2004
Although Sehwag and Aarti began their journey as friends, it took the former 14 years to realise his feelings for her. At the age of 21, he proposed to Aarti, and she said yes, marking the start of a secret love story
For three years, they kept their relationship hidden from the world, safeguarding it from prying eyes. It wasn’t until they were ready to marry that they revealed their love to their families
Their wedding, held in April 2004, was an intimate affair at Arun Jaitley’s New Delhi residence. The ceremony was a closely guarded celebration, free from media presence, and steeped in Haryanvi tradition
In 2007, just days before Virender’s birthday, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Aryavir. Three years later, in 2010, their second son, Vedant was born.
