Beautiful love story of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sakshi Dhoni

Sakshi Dhoni and Mahendra Singh Dhoni knew each other since childhood, but they never interacted. Sakshi and Dhoni's story began after the couple met in Kolkata.  

When Sakshi received text messages from Dhoni, she initially thought someone was playing a prank on her. 

In March 2008, after a lot of texting and cutesy couple milestones, Sakshi and Dhoni finally started dating. 

After a courtship of two years, Sakshi and Dhoni in a lowkey ceremony in Dehradun, got engaged on July 3, 2010.

Maintaining their privacy and only a few days post their engagement, Dhoni and Sakshi tied the knot on July 4 in Dehradun.

Sakshi and Dhoni became parents to a beautiful baby girl named Ziva in February 2015.
