Mumbai: Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as “Captain Cool,” celebrated his 43rd birthday in style. The iconic wicketkeeper-batsman’s special day was marked by an intimate midnight party organized by his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, at their Galaxy Apartment, Bandra residence. But the real surprise came when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made an unexpected appearance to wish the cricket legend.
The Birthday Bash: A Star-Studded Affair
The Dhoni residence was excited as close friends and family gathered to celebrate. The festive atmosphere was palpable, with stars from both the sports and film worlds in attendance. Among them was Salman Khan, who graced the occasion and brought along a heartfelt birthday wish for his friend.
Salman’s Sweet Gesture
In a video that quickly went viral, Dhoni was seen cutting not one but three birthday cakes. First, he shared a bite with Sakshi, his ever-supportive wife. Then, turning to Salman, he playfully offered him a piece of cake. The camaraderie between the two icons was heartwarming. Salman later took to social media, posting a picture from the celebration and referring to Dhoni as “Kaptaan Sahab.”
Sakshi’s Touching Moment
Another highlight of the evening was Sakshi Dhoni touching her husband’s feet during the birthday festivities. Fans couldn’t help but admire their chemistry and the genuine affection they share. The video captured not only their bond but also featured other celebrities like Hardik Pandya, Anant Ambani, and Ranveer Singh dancing to the popular track “Jumme Ki Raat Hai” while the cake was cut.
