Dhoni gets engaged to Sakshi
Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni got engaged to his school-time friend Sakshi Singh Rawat at a hotel in Dehradun. "Dhoni and his school friend Sakshi got engaged at hotel Bhagirath in Dehradun," a close family friend said. “Besides, the family members of Dhoni, a few close friends of the cricketer were present during the engagement ceremony," he added.
28-year-old Dhoni and Rawat had been school friends at DAV, Shamily in Ranchi. "Their fathers worked together in MECON, and the Rawats moved to Dehradun after retirement," the friend said. Asked whether any date for marriage has been fixed, he said, "Not yet, maybe after the Australian series.''
Sakshi Singh Rawat, a 20-year-old third year student of Hotel Management at IHM, Aurangabad, who recently finished her training at the front office at Taj Bengal, met MS Dhoni at the post-party of Race at Bipasha Basu's house.
She came as a guest of John Abraham's, a mutual friend. According to a source from Mumbai, "She attends all his hair-cutting sessions. Dhoni got his hair cut short because she likes short hair." Sources at the Aurangabad institute reveal further about their relationship.
Sakshi also attends all of Dhoni's hair cutting sessions. Sakshi Singh was seen with Dhoni on her 21st birthday on the 19th of November. They even went for a rickshaw drive together in Aurangabad. Dhoni has also gifted Sakshi an iPhone. Sakshi’s elder sister, Abhilasha Bisht, confirmed to a TV news channel that Dhoni is a good family friend but denied that Sakshi and Dhoni are getting married in the near future.
