Janhvi Kapoor, renowned for her acting prowess, had the privilege of meeting the enigmatic MS Dhoni, captain of the Chennai Super Kings, at a recent function. The encounter left an indelible mark on Kapoor, who couldn’t help but gush about Dhoni’s extraordinary presence. She aptly described him as gliding through the room, an ethereal figure commanding attention. Kapoor was particularly impressed by Dhoni’s respectful treatment of everyone who approached him for a photograph, engaging in genuine conversations rather than simply snapping selfies and moving on.
Dhoni’s humility and grace were further exemplified in an incident that occurred during an IPL 2024 match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. As Dhoni strode towards the crease, a young fan breached security and ran onto the field, eager to touch his idol. Dhoni, unfazed by the interruption, responded with remarkable composure. He gently patted the fan’s back, asking him to stand, and ensured that security personnel escorted him out without causing any harm. The incident showcased Dhoni’s protective nature and the immense respect he accords to his fans.
Kapoor expressed her deep admiration for Dhoni’s dignified presence, lauding not only his cricketing achievements but also his exemplary character. She recalled the unforgettable moment when Dhoni single-handedly propelled India to victory against Sri Lanka with a hat-trick of sixes, a feat that etched itself into the annals of cricket history. Kapoor concluded by urging the media to help her convince Dhoni and his wife to watch her upcoming film, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi,’ which celebrates the remarkable journey of the couple in the world of cricket.
