Meet woman who supported Dhoni to pursue his cricket career, married former CSK captain's best friend, now works as..., she is...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most cherished cricketers in the history of Indian cricket. He has performed incredibly well in his career and has brought Indian cricket to new heights. But a lot of people helped him become who he is. His sister is one of his biggest supporters, and really, she has been there from the beginning of his career to this day. But who is MS Dhoni's sister? What is her name? And what does she do for a living? Know more about her…. MS Dhoni has a sister named Jayanti Gupta. According to various media reports, Jayanti is reportedly about 3-4 years older than him. Jayanti has always been a great supporter of his brother. One such instance is being a big part of his rise in his cricketing career. Even when Dhoni received no support from their father, he had support from his sister. Although social media attention often highlights Dhoni's name in cricket, Jayanti has always chosen to live outside the spotlight. Jayanti Gupta lives a simple life and is reported to work as an English teacher in Ranchi, their hometown. She is married to Gautam Gupta, one of Dhoni's oldest and closest friends. Gautam played a huge role in Dhoni's cricket career and supported him very much throughout his state career too. Their friendship was even acted out in the movie, 'MS Dhoni – The Untold Story.' Dhoni was last seen in action while leading the Chennai Super Kings in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He took over the captaincy midway through the tournament after designated skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. According to the news agency ANI report, Dhoni's unbeaten 183* against Sri Lanka in 2005 remains the highest score by a wicketkeeper in the format. With over 10,000 ODI runs at an astonishing average of 50.57, his legacy with the bat is as impactful as it is the stumps, Dhoni was a phenomenon. His lightning-fast stumpings and razor-sharp anticipation revolutionised wicketkeeping in limited-overs cricket. Overall, he boasts 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals and 538 matches across formats for India.

Not Sakshi, but this woman runs Dhoni's Rs 8000000000 company; even ‘Mahi' bows in deep respect, not sister Jayanti, mother Devaki; she is...
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is more than a name; he is a brand within himself. Dhoni may have retired from international cricket in 2020 and is only playing in the IPL presently, but his earning potential has not been affected. Aside from cricket, Dhoni leads a few business ventures. His company — Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited — is achieving new heights of success, and this achievement is all due to a woman who has taken the company where it is today. Not Sakshi, but this woman runs Dhoni's Rs 8000000000 company; even 'Mahi' bows in deep respect, not sister Jayanti, mother Devaki; she is… You might think the woman who has been integral to the company's success is Sakshi Dhoni, MS Dhoni's wife – but you are wrong. The woman who has actually helped Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited excel is Sheila Devi, Sakshi's mother and MS Dhoni's mother-in-law. Since 2020, she has worked with her daughter as the CEO at Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited. She is not his sister, Jayanti Gupta or mother Devaki; it's someone else… She is… This company, which began with an Rs 800 crore investment, is led by Sheila Devi. With Sheila in charge, Dhoni Entertainment is rapidly growing and is achieving impressive milestones daily. Sheila Devi is MS Dhoni's mother-in-law, and as a sign of respect, Dhoni often humbly touches her feet. According to the media reports, Dhoni ranks second among the top 10 richest cricketers globally by net worth. MS Dhoni's net worth sits at $125 million, which is around Rs 1,040 crore. In first place in this group is former Indian great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar's net worth is about Rs 1,400 crore.

‘Didn't expect cameras in trees': Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, opens up about worst part of fame
Travis Kelce might've miscalculated the price of fame when he started dating pop star Taylor Swift. The NFL tight end has been in the tabloids nearly every single day since his high-profile romance with the Cruel Summer singer kicked off in summer 2023, with every move shadowed by paparazzi clicks. For Swift, this has been routine for years, but for Kelce, who's no stranger to the spotlight himself (three Super Bowl rings, Hall of Fame, 77 touchdowns), it's still a bit much. On a recent episode of Bussin' With The Boys, Kelce joked that while he did expect attention, he didn't exactly sign up for being stalked by cameras while doing regular day-to-day stuff, like playing golf or even trying to use a toilet. Appearing on the podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs' star admitted he didn't quite grasp how crazy the paparazzi swarm would get. 'I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden, in the trees, there's just a f—ing guy with a camera,' Kelce said. 'Like, ah s–t. I gotta go to the restroom now. I can't just go over here and take a piss.' He added that while he's not the type to shy away from cracking open a beer in public, when it comes to private moments, it's another story. 'Just don't want my stuff on Page Six, you know what I mean?' he joked, name-dropping the US tabloid. Also read: Taylor Swift's ex Matty Healy calls himself 'the best poet'; seemingly mocks the singer onstage Later on the show, Kelce also spoke about his relationship with Swift and how their date nights constantly make headlines. 'We're just enjoying life, having fun being a couple,' he said. 'It's not about the spotlight.' Swift and Kelce have been going strong for nearly two years now, often spotted together at concerts or sports stadiums. One such appearance, during the Stanley Cup, where the Edmonton Oilers beat the Panthers in overtime, got a mention too. He said, 'It gets thrown out there like we're trying to seek attention, but really, we're just out here living, going to hockey games, kind of easing her into more of the sports world.' In an earlier podcast, the Chiefs' tight end had also revealed how he really started falling for Swift after noticing how 'self-aware' and 'genuine' she is. 'It can get crazy with that much attention, but she keeps it chill and cool. I admire that,' he shared. Also read: HYBE America CEO Scooter Braun steps down hours after BTS reveal full-group comeback Later in the interview, Kelce revealed who his dream podcast guest is. For the unversed, when he's not playing, Kelce and his brother Jason run the New Heights podcast themselves. And while the brothers have already hosted a lineup of high-profile guests like LeBron James and Ben Stiller, Kelce said he still wants Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders on the show—that's the one. 'Man, I want to get Deion Sanders on so bad. I want to talk to him about the football and baseball world that he was in in the late '80s, early '90s, and just chop it up,' he said. So yeah, for fans hoping he'd say Taylor, might want to sit this one out. 'I played every sport imaginable growing up, and I always wanted to be one of those guys that played both, a two-sport professional athlete,' Kelce added.
