When Shikhar Dhawan came on the field, the entire stadium would be filled with enthusiasm. This powerful player who rains fours and sixes with his bat has such a personality that anyone would get impressed just by looking at him from a distance. But it is said that men do not show their sorrow and the same thing can be said about Dhawan as well.
He has said goodbye to the game which he considered his life. Dhawan’s announcement of retirement from all three formats of international cricket has shocked everyone. Shikhar, who is going through many things in his personal life, cannot even be guessed what must be going on in his mind while sharing this information, looking at his smiling face. And perhaps people will not pay much attention to this, because they forget that men also feel pain. (Photo courtesy: Instagram@shikhardofficial)
Dhawan’s love, marriage and a torn life
Shikhar Dhawan fell in love with Ayesha Mukherjee, who was already divorced and mother of two daughters, and then married her in 2012. But after about seven years, things reached divorce and with this, his life started falling apart in front of everyone’s eyes.
The child’s face cannot even be seen
It is quite common to see a mother fighting for the custody of her child in court during a divorce. It is very sad to have to go through such a fight to get your own child. But many men also go through the same thing and Shikhar Dhawan is one of them.
It was revealed in the reports that the cricketer had even complained that Ayesha does not even allow him and his son to talk nor does she allow them to spend time together.
These things came out as news, spread around and then got buried amidst new gossips. But did anyone really understand the pain of a father being away from his own child? What about his emotions and mental well-being?
Suppressed emotions can lead to death
You might think that it’s okay if you suppress your emotions, what’s the big deal? But if someone is taught to suppress his emotions since childhood, then just imagine how much burden he must be carrying inside. And this is exactly what happens in the case of boys.
Very little is said about its side effects, while they can clearly prove to be fatal. A study published in NCBI ‘Emotion Suppression and Mortality Risk’ mentions that emotion suppression can shorten life and cause death. Along with this, it can worsen health conditions like heart disease, deterioration in general health and cancer.
30% men face depression
According to another study, men also go through the same emotions as women, however, they are unable to express them. The most important reason for this is social stigma.
About 30% of men go into depression due to this and other conditions arising from this gradually break them further. On the other hand, men who express their feelings openly have to face such problems comparatively less.
So leave some sympathy for them too
If things are changing for everyone, then this change should also include men who are going through serious problems due to emotional suppression. This can start from home itself, where boys can be taught from childhood that it is not wrong to express emotions and suppressing them is not real manliness.
