Dhoni’s ex speaks out
Chennai-based actor Laxmi Raai, who is making her Bollywood debut this year, is surprised to see stories about her relationship with cricketer MS Dhoni surfacing yet again ahead of the release of his biopic.
“While Dhoni and I have moved on, it looks like some people are still stuck with it. It’s been eight years since that chapter got over for me,” says Raai, who was allegedly dating Dhoni during IPL 2008. “We were together for less than a year. We never thought of getting married either, so I don’t understand why people would talk about us. We felt sorry for each other but we’ve not been in touch ever since,” she adds.
While Dhoni’s biopic talks about one of his ex-girlfriends Priyanka Jha who died in an accident, there is buzz that Raai’s part might also be shown in the film. “I hope not. Though, there was an indirect approach to know the story from my side but I have not given any such consent so they cannot claim a relationship existed in the film,” she says adding, “(Also) it’s not that he (Dhoni) has dated only me.
There have been other girls that he’s been in a relationship with after me. And a biopic is much more than just girls and relationships.”
