What captivated everyone’s attention was Sakshi touching her husband’s feet, a gesture that showcased the couple’s playful and loving bond. This heartfelt moment highlighted the deep respect and affection they have for each other, charming fans and followers alike.
MS Dhoni biopic Re-Released
In addition to the birthday festivities, it was announced that the beloved biopic ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’ will be re-released in theatres in July 2024.
The film, which chronicles MS Dhoni’s journey from a small-town boy to one of the most successful cricket captains, stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Kiara Advani, and Disha Patani. The re-release is a special tribute to celebrate Dhoni’s 43rd birthday and his incredible contributions to Indian cricket.
Star-Studded Sangeet Ceremony
Just a day before the birthday celebration, MS Dhoni and Sakshi attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s glamorous sangeet ceremony at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC). The event was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Salman Khan, Badshah, Ranveer Singh, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan gracing the occasion with their performances.
Indian cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav, also attended the ceremony. Nita Ambani lauded the Indian cricket team’s recent victory, describing the nation’s collective joy and relief as they clinched an improbable win. She specifically praised Hardik Pandya’s resilience, stating, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do!”
Celebrations Continue for Team India and MS Dhoni
Mukesh Ambani also congratulated the cricketers, reminiscing about India’s last World Cup win in 2011. Mumbai Indians teammates and other Indian cricketers like Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Krunal Pandya, KL Rahul, and the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni shared the joyous moment.
