Their paths crossed when MS Dhoni was just 20 years old and preparing to represent India A. It was during this time that love blossomed between the two. Dhoni and Priyanka shared dreams of spending their lives together, supporting and encouraging each other along the way.
Tragedy struck when Priyanka lost her life in a heartbreaking road accident while Dhoni was on the India A tour of Zimbabwe and Kenya in 2003-04. The news of her untimely demise reached Dhoni only after he returned home, leaving him devastated. Not only did he lose his beloved Priyanka, but his dreams of marrying his first love were shattered as well.

However, life had more in store for Dhoni. In March 2008, he found love once again, this time in the form of Sakshi Singh Rawat. Dhoni and Sakshi dated for a significant period before taking their relationship to the next level. On July 4, 2010, they tied the knot in a private ceremony.
Their happiness multiplied when they were blessed with a baby girl on February 6, 2015. Dhoni, who was leading Team India in Australia at the time, welcomed the news with joy and excitement.
The adorable daughter of Dhoni and Sakshi, named Ziva, captured the hearts of many during the IPL 2023 season. Her cuteness and her heartwarming interactions with other Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cricketers endeared her to fans around the world.
In the biopic “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,” Priyanka’s character was portrayed by Bollywood actress Disha Patani, while Kiara Advani played the role of Sakshi.

Dhoni’s personal life serves as a reminder that even amidst heartbreak and loss, new beginnings and love can still blossom, guiding one and all towards brighter days.
