New Delhi: Every cricket lover's chest swells with pride on hearing the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the uncrowned king of Indian cricket. But Dhoni's life is not limited to the cricket field; his personal life is equally exciting and inspiring, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's love story with his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, is no less than a Bollywood film. The date of July 4 is not just a date for them but a symbol of such a beautiful love story, which started with the union of fate and hearts. Come, today we take you on a tour of this interesting love story of Dhoni and Sakshi.

Met in a Kolkata hotel

Actually, it was the year 2007. Sakshi was working as an intern in the famous Taj Bengal Hotel in Kolkata. At that time, Sakshi hardly knew that her life was soon going to take a new turn. On the other hand, Dhoni, whom the world knows as 'Captain Cool,' was making a splash on the cricket field with his helicopter shots. But there was a lack of love in his life at that time. Fate had arranged for the two to meet. Sakshi's manager, Yudhjit Dutta, who was also Dhoni's friend, paved the way for this meeting.

The series progressed through phone calls and messages.

Dhoni and Sakshi met for the first time in this Taj Bengal Hotel. Dhoni got Sakshi's phone number, and then the series of messages started. At first, Sakshi thought that maybe someone was joking with her. After all, it was not easy to believe that India's star cricketer was talking to her. But when Sakshi was convinced that it was none other than Dhoni himself, the conversation continued. Gradually the messages turned into friendship, and friendship took the form of love. Both started dating in March 2008 but always kept this relationship away from the headlines.

Married secretly

Dhoni and Sakshi's relationship was so secret that when they got married on 4 July 2010 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, this news was no less than a big surprise for the fans. A superstar like Dhoni, whose every move was monitored by the media, got married with such peace and simplicity that no one even got a hint. This marriage was not just the union of two people but the beginning of a story that is still an inspiration for millions of people.

Captain Cool is the father of a daughter

After marriage, Sakshi was called Dhoni's 'lucky charm.' Dhoni's career touched new heights after coming together with her. In 2011, India won the World Cup under Dhoni's captaincy, and Sakshi was seen cheering her husband from the stands. In 2015, the couple welcomed their daughter, Ziva. At that time, Dhoni was playing the World Cup in Australia and could not come to India for the birth of his daughter. However, Ziva's birth filled her life with happiness.

Sakshi left her career to be with Dhoni

Sakshi had studied hotel management at a reputed college in Aurangabad and also worked in a five-star hotel. But after marriage, she left her career behind and stood by Dhoni at every step. Even today, when Dhoni takes the field, Sakshi is often seen cheering him in the stands.

Even after 15 years, Dhoni and Sakshi's relationship is as strong and loving as ever. Their daughter Ziva is also winning hearts with her cuteness on social media. This couple proves that true love and trust can make any relationship unbreakable. Dhoni and Sakshi's story is not just about love but about mutual respect, understanding, and togetherness. Be it on the field or in life, Dhoni and Sakshi always remain 'perfect partners' for each other.
