Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's daughter Ziva has always been an internet sensation and attracts eyeballs for being smart at such a small age. Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi Dhoni, took to her Instagram handle to share a private conversation with her daughter Ziva Singh Dhoni about the on-going coronavirus outbreak.

Ziva begins asking: “Why haven’t these animals got the virus?” To this, Sakshi replies saying, "Humans have done a lot of bad things to Mother Nature and she is just warning us. Ziva then asks what can we do to help Mother Nature? And Sakshi said “Keep your room clean. Throw trash in the dustbin, don’t waste water and food. Pick up plastic and wrappers from the ground and put them in the bin.”
