Ranveer Singh bids farewell to 'Mahi bhai'

Ranveer Singh posted three pictures with MS Dhoni and recalled the first time he met him. In his post, Ranveer said that in 2007 - 08, he met MSD at ND Studio in Karjat where he was working as an assistant director. Revealing that he was overworked and underpaid in that job, Singh added that the only reason he 'didn't care' was because he just wanted to be in 'His' (MSD) presence.

Calling the picture from that day 'a little gem' and 'prized possessions', the Padmaavat actor said that when he finally met Dhoni during the ad-shoot, he was 'completely awestruck' to see the 'humble, down-to-earth' nature of the Indian Captain. He further added that the second time he met the Indian Captain Cool was through Sapna (who was their common hairstylist at the time) and MSD had praised his performance in Band Baaja Baaraat. He said: "We hung out, I had my cap and jersey signed by him, like a true fanboy. That day, I felt like I was walking on the clouds!".
