MS Dhoni turns stand-up comic at wedding, fans say ‘Thala did graduation in marriage'
A clip showing Dhoni at the event has gone viral, where he offers cheeky life tips to the bride and groom on stage. The light-hearted exchange begins with Dhoni remarking, "Shaadi bahot acchi cheez hai par karne ki jaldi tumhe this (Marriage is a great thing but you were in a hurry to do it)." The statement drew laughter from the newlyweds' family and friends.
The cricketer then looked at the groom and quipped, 'Kuch log aag se khelna pasand karte hain, yeh unmein se hai (Some people like to play with fire, he's one of them).'
As laughter rang out again, Dhoni added, "All husbands here are the same. It hardly matters aap World Cup jeete ho ya nahi," leaving everyone in splits.
The ex-India captain also had some advice for the bride. Dhoni told her not to say anything when her husband gets angry because, more often than not, "we just calm down after 5 minutes."
He congratulated the pair and walked down to join the other guests as chants of "Dhoni, Dhoni" rang out.
The clip earned praise from Indians on social media, many of whom hailed Dhoni's comedic timing. "Stand-up comedians ki job ab khatre mein," said one user.
Another added, "Thala did graduation in marriage and love department."
Others were delighted to see Captain Cool tune into his comedic side in public. "I have never seen Dhoni speak so freely and joke. Captain Cool post-retirement is a delight to watch," said one of them.

‘Mahavatar Narsimha' box office collection day 12: Ashwin Kumar's animated epic roars louder; crosses Rs 100 cr mark
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Ashwin Kumar 's 'Mahavatar Narsimha' has turned out to be the biggest surprise at the box office this month. The animated mythological film, which opened at just Rs 1.75 crore on Day 1, has now soared to a total of Rs 106.2 crore by Day 12. What's even more impressive is the huge jump during its second weekend, with Day 10 (Sunday) alone collecting Rs 23.1 crore, as reported by the Sacnilk website. Myth meets momentum Mahavatar Narsimha tells the tale of the demon king Hiranyakashyap, who declares himself god, only to be defied by his own son, Prahlad, a staunch devotee of Vishnu. Ashwin Kumar's direction and storytelling have been widely praised for balancing tradition with visual spectacle. 'Mahavatar Narsimha' Rockets to ₹37 Crore in Six Days—Animated Epic Becomes Surprise Hit Pan-India appeal fuels the fire The film was released in multiple languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, it is the Hindi version that has led the charge, contributing over Rs 32 crore in the first week alone. It continues its dominance into the second week. Regional language versions have also steadily picked up momentum. The film is getting magnificent response from the viewers. One Twitter review reads, "'Mahavatar Narsimha' — a visual reminder that myth isn't fiction. It's coded truth. Varaha, Narsimha… primal forces, eternal patterns. Worth watching." Another review reads, "#MahavatarNarsimha review: A film in which the lead character has an INSANE amount of aura but is reduced to a cameo role.

" A third review reads, "5/5 – A Divine Masterpiece #MahavtarNarsimha is not just a movie — it's a spiritual experience, a proud representation of our Sanatan Dharma and #Satyalogy. this film brings to life the divine story of Shri Narsimha Avatar #Sanatan."
