'Julie 2' lead Raai Laxmi was in a relationship with Mahendra Singh Dhoni

There is no doubt over the fact that two biggest industries that the country of India – Cricket and Bollywood, go hand in hand. While the whole nation is familiar with stories of Cricketers dating Bollywood actresses,  a few have also crossed the borders of marriage. Another similar story which is doing rounds in the world of media recently is regarding popular South Indian actress Raai Laxmi, who is set to make her Bollywood debut with the movie ‘Julie 2’.

Details:

It has come into recognition that the actress once dated legendary Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. You can go through the line another hundred times but this a fact! The actress who has featured in several Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada films in her 10-year long career in the South Indian film industry started dating the prolific match winner during the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League in 2008.

MS Dhoni was the captain of the Chennai Super Kings and Raai Laxmi was serving as the brand ambassador for the franchise. According to Laxmi the two of them dated for less than a year. Both the two professionals have moved on with their respective careers but the relationship remains a topic for gossip among the fans.

“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 told The Times of India.

Laxmi was apprehensive about the revelation of her alleged relationship in the movie “MS Dhoni – An Untold Story”. Speaking about the same she said  “I hope not. Though there was an indirect approach to knowing the story from my side I have not given any such consent so they cannot claim a relationship existed unless they take names in the film.”
