A heartwarming video of ex-India cricketer MS Dhoni attending a birthday party had gone viral on social media, where fans lauded him for his down-to-earth nature. In the video, Dhoni is seen standing behind in a crowded room when the family is seen singing the Happy Birthday song. It isn't clear as to how he is related to the family but he bonded with him instantly as he was seen smiling, singing, and laughing just like any other person.
And when the man, who had cut the cake, decided to offer some to Dhoni, the legendary cricketer was seen pointing towards a woman and said, “Pehle Kaaki ko khilao, aapko ghar mein rehna hai. Hum toh chale jangly. (First feed Kaki. You have to live here, we’ll all be leaving soon)," which made everyone in the room burst into laughter.
And then when that man offered another piece, Dhoni once declined and reckoned that he should be giving it to the kids first and then he himself accepted that piece later.
