“Mahi” has a net worth of 846 crore INR. Dhoni also holds the record for the most wicket-keeper catches and was included in the Forbes list of highest-paid athletes in 2018.
Love Story
Dhoni and Sakshi had known each other since they were children since their fathers both worked for the same company. They attended the same school but had little in common. Sakshi’s family relocated to Dehradun later on and they lost contact.
Almost a decade later in Kolkata, Dhoni met Sakshi at the Taj Bengal, where the Indian team was staying for a match and Sakshi was interning. Yudhajit Dutta, Mahi’s manager, introduced him to Sakshi.
Surprisingly, it was her last day of internship. Dhoni was rather charmed, and when Sakshi left, he took her number from the manager and texted her.
When Sakshi received a text from Dhoni, she mistook it for a joke. Then, she realised that it was indeed Dhoni who messaged her. Mahi had to put in a lot of work to become friends with her.
It didn’t take them long to fall in love with each other and they started dating in March 2008. Captain Cool made sure he made those tiny efforts to keep his love lady happy. When Sakshi went to his birthday party, he took an hour off and dropped her off at home so that he could spend more quality time with her.
On July 3, 2010, Dhoni and Sakshi were engaged in a quiet ceremony in Dehradun. The media was kept out and the engagement was attended by family members from both sides of the family.
On July 4, 2010, the pair exchanged wedding vows in Vishranti Resort, a farmhouse in Dehradun. Dhoni’s cricket and entertainment associates were a part of it. Many celebrities, including Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra, John Abraham, and Farah Khan, were regarded as baaratis.
