Hyderabad: Former India World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's wife Sakshi Dhoni shared a heartwarming video on her social media handle where she can be seen touching her husband's feet on the occasion.
MS Dhoni, who is the only captain in the world to win all white-ball ICC Trophies, is celebrating his 43rd birthday on July 7. Sakshi posted a video of Dhoni cutting the cake on her Instagram handle and asking his wife if the cake was eggless.
Sakshi wished Dhoni in the caption saying, "Happy Birthday @mahi7781."
When MS Dhoni offered Sakshi a piece of cake, Sakshi did the same in return and then touched the cricketer's feet. Dhoni blessed her by flaunting his left hand over her head, while the people around them started to laugh loudly. Dhoni also asked if the cake was eggless.
The overwhelming gesture from Sakshi won the hearts of the netizens and they soon reacted to her act by flooding social media with their comments.
The 43-year-old cricketer, who plays for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, is known as Thala, which means "Leader" in Tamil. The song played in the background during the cricketer's cake-cutting is from the legendary actor Rajnikanth's movie "Jailer" and is called "Thalaivar Alappara''.
The video went viral on social media within a few minutes and random users started reacting to it. "Sakshi knows how to make us happy. Thank god she handles social media like all of us," bini_bhawani999, a random social media user, commented on the post.
