During a launch event in 2013, Anushka Sharma opened up about her bond with Sakshi Dhoni and revealed that they studied in the same school together. She said, "Sakshi and I loved together in a very small town in Assam. When she told me where she lived, I said wow, I have lived here too! She said I went to this school, I said I went to this school too. And then I found a picture in which Sakshi is dressed as a fairy and I'm dressed in a ghagra like my favourite idol Madhuri. Sakshi is extremely funny."
