Before former India skipper, MS Dhoni tied the knots with Sakshi Dhoni, there were rumours that the legendary wicket-keeper batter was dating South Indian film star Raai Laxmi. Though Dhoni never said anything about his relationship with Raai Laxmi in public, it was the latter who said that the two dated each other.
According to reports Dhoni and Laxmi met in 2008 when Dhoni came to attend her birthday party during IPL. Raai was deeply in love with Dhoni and she once even said that she would marry Dhoni if he proposes to her. They dated each other for around a year before they decided to part ways.

While MS Dhoni has kept mum about it, Laxmi has accepted her relationship with the former India cricketer in an interview. She expressed her irritation that the media still digs out their relationship every time during a discussion about Dhoni’s past.
“I’ve begun to believe that my relationship with Dhoni is like a stain or a scar which won’t go away for a long time. I am surprised that people still have the energy and patience left to talk about it even now. Every time TV channels dig into Dhoni’s past, they make it a point to bring up our relationship. I dread to think that someday my kids in future will see it on TV and ask me about it!,” Laxmi once said in an interview.
She is a well-known South Indian cinema actress. Raai Laxmi has worked in many Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam films. She has acted in Hindi films like ‘Julie 2’ and Akira. On April 6, Laxmi announced her engagement in a surprising and unexpected way. She is now going viral again for her relationship with MS Dhoni.
