Two school friends, a girl and a boy, grew up together. The girl's family shifted to other location but later the couple met again and fell in love. The story concluded with a happy married life. Does it sound like the gist of a Hindi commercial movie? Well, this is what exactly happened to Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sakshi Rawat.

India cricket captain, MS Dhoni and Sakshi Rawat, were childhood friends. Their fathers worked together but later Sakshi's family got transferred to Dehradun. Dhoni and Sakshi were in touch through out. He became a cricket captain and she excelled as hotel management student. Both of them kept the secret quite well and media knew only when a sudden 'mangni' was announced on the 3rd of July.

Dhoni decided on a low profile marriage with family members and few prominent personalities. The wedding was attended by, ICC chief Sharad Pawar, BCCI President Shashank Manohar, former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje, actor John Abraham, Bollywood director Farah Khan and cricketers R. P. Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra and Suresh Raina. Surprisingly, Dhoni's good friend, Asin did not attend the wedding. She was also not available for comments.

Media managed to get clips of Abhi-Ash wedding but Dhoni's wedding was well guarded by policemen. Sources have revealed that the reception will be held in Mumbai on the 7th of July.
