Lakshmi Rai denies dating Dhoni

There were reports that Tamil Actress Lakshmi Rai spotted dining with captain of Indian cricket team Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a hotel in Chennai few days back. This has sparked off numerous rumors that link Dhoni with Lakshmi Rai as having a romance-filled association.

But the actress denies being in any sort of love relationship with the cricketer and claiming all the rumors as baseless which carries no truth.

No. I didn’t meet him during this tour since I was busy shooting elsewhere. The rumours are baseless, says Lakshmi.

Lakshmi accepts that Dhoni and she are just good friends, but denies anything beyond that. We struck a chord during the IPL. But like others, we don’t need to keep in touch every day, she says
