In an interview, talking about Sakshi Dhoni, Anushka Sharma had once said, "Sakshi and I lived together in a very small town in Assam. When she told me where she lived, I said wow, I have lived here too! She said I went to this school, I said I went to this school too."
Talking about their fancy dress photo, Anushka Sharma also said, "And then I found a picture in which Sakshi is dressed as a fairy and I'm dressed in a Ghaghara like my favourite idol Madhuri. Sakshi is extremely funny."
Talking about the nail-biting final match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titan, the match that began on Monday evening concluded in the wee hours of Tuesday.
A rock-solid partnership between Conway-Ruturaj had helped set foundation for a successful run-chase, but a game-changing spell from Mohit Sharma threatened to take away the win from CSK. However, Dube and Jadeja kept calm to seal a memorable title win for the Men in Yellow.
