Many of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s supporters worldwide associate the name with more than just an emotion. Whether it’s his tremendous on-field successes for Team India and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), his temperament and relaxed leadership, or his modest and down-to-earth nature off-field, MS Dhoni’s popularity in India is unmatched for countless reasons.
Several well-known celebrities are among his many devout fans. In light of this, let’s look at five famous actors who are MS Dhoni fans.
1. Thalapathy Vijay
Vijay, a well-known actor in the Tamil film industry, has always been an MS Dhoni supporter. He spent a lot of time with Dhoni and has attended many of CSK’s IPL matches at Chepauk. Recently, photos of the two together on the set of Vijay’s film Beast caused quite a stir in Tamil Nadu, where both superstars are viral.
2. Yash
Yash, one of the most famous actors in India, has been known to shower praises on MS Dhoni in the past and has referred to him as one of his role models in life. In an interview in 2019, the star of KGF stated that MS Dhoni’s personality was motivating for him and that the captain of CSK was one of his most significant role models. He also mentioned that Shankar Nag was another one of his most vital role models.
3. Sushant Singh Rajput
One cannot deny that the late Sushant Singh Rajput was an ardent fan of MS Dhoni. Fans and critics equally praised Sushant’s performance in the biopic of MS Dhoni, “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story”, and it is generally agreed that this was his best work to date. If he was not already, Sushant became a bigger fan of MS Dhoni as he tried to recreate and imitate Dhoni’s playing style and studied more about Dhoni’s life.
4. Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh has long been an enthusiastic fan of MS Dhoni. He previously stated how he worked as an assistant director on an ad film for less pay and long hours simply because MS Dhoni was a part of the project. After MS announced his retirement from international cricket, the actor made a particularly poignant statement honouring him on social media.
5. Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor, a famous Bollywood actor, is a big fan of MS Dhoni. When he met MS Dhoni at a charity football match between Abhishek Bachchan’s celebrity team and Virat Kohli’s cricketer team, he admitted it was one of his “fanboy moments.”
