#4 When he asked Sakshi to marry him
A marriage proposal is something which brings about a smile on people’s face, but given the circumstances, the smile was accompanied by a few tears as well.
MS Dhoni met his wife Sakshi Singh Rawat at the Taj Bengal in Kolkata during South Africa’s tour of India in 2008.
It was in the month of February when Sakshi called Dhoni to ask him about Valentine’s day, and he immediately got reminded off an extremely similar conversation which he had with Priyanka in 2006, a few days before her death. When Sakshi asked Dhoni about what gift he wants, he told her he doesn’t believe in valentine’s day.
After putting down the phone, he got back memories of Priyanka and realised that he does not want to lose Sakshi by pushing her away and telling her that there is a lot of time. So, he took a quick decision and called her back and proposed to her over the phone.
