Did you know Julie 2 actress Raai Laxmi has a connection between her and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

In an interview to a leading daily, the South Indian actress revealed that she once dated the former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. Raai Laxmi, who has worked in several Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films.

The actress revealed she and Dhoni did date once but never thought of going all the way.

"I was the brand ambassador for the team that he was a part of and we were together for less than a year.

We had never committed to each other and never thought of getting married either, so I don’t understand why people would talk about us.

It didn’t work for us, so we moved on”, Raai Laxmi was quoted as saying to the daily.

When Dhoni's biopic titled MS Dhoni: The Untold Story was to be released, Raai Laxmi was reportedly anxious to know if the film involves anything to do with her. During an interview with entertainment portal SpotBoye, she was asked about Dhoni, to which she responded with this strange question, “Who’s he?”.

However, to save her from more embarrassment, she said, “This needs to have a full stop. It was a long time ago, he is happily married now, he has a daughter… Certain things don’t work out, and then you have to move on.

People had quickly taken it to a level that I was going to get married to him, and that was simply not true. The hype got us into an awkward space and that is why I do not talk to the media much about this, but I am talking a bit now. I do not want to speak about him in detail because I respect him a lot."

After Dhoni tied the knot with Sakshi Singh Rawat in 2010, the rumours of link-up came to an end.
