Love Story of Sakshi and Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Dhoni and Sakshi had known each other since the same time they shared at Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Their father was an employee at the same company. However, they never had a conversation with each other during that time. They met for the second time while Sakshi Dhoni was interning at Kolkata. The Indian Cricket Team was staying at Taj Bengal, Kolkata, India for a match. It was then that Yudhajit Dutta, Dhoni’s manager introduced him to Sakshi. Coincidentally, it was the last day of her internship and she left. Dhoni later asked for her number from his manager and texted her.
