Even years after his retirement from international cricket, MS Dhoni continues to remain in the spotlight — not for his on-field heroics this time, but for his off-field humor. The former Indian captain recently attended a wedding, and a video of him offering cheeky marital advice to the groom has gone viral.
In the video, Dhoni can be seen standing on stage with newlyweds Utkarsh Sanghvi and Dhvani Kanungo, giving a light-hearted yet hilarious speech. Pointing at the groom, he teased,
“Kuch log aag se khelna pasand karte hain, yeh unmein se hai.”
(Some people like to play with fire — he’s one of them.)
But the real punch came next when Dhoni said,
“It doesn’t matter if you’ve won the World Cup or not, after marriage, all husbands are in the same condition.”
The crowd erupted in laughter, soaking in Dhoni’s signature humor and charm.
Dhoni’s Advice Goes Viral, Fans Declare Him the New Stand-Up Star
The video, which quickly spread across social media platforms, showcased a rare and candid side of Dhoni. When he told the groom,
“If you think your wife is different, then you’re thinking wrong,”
Utkarsh sportingly replied,
“Yes, mine is not different!”
causing another round of laughs and applause.
Turning to the bride, Dhoni switched tones and offered some gentle advice:
“Stay calm during arguments — men usually cool down in five minutes.”
He concluded his speech with warm wishes for the couple’s future, but by then, the internet had already crowned him as the ultimate “marriage counselor.”
Fans flooded the comments section with admiration and humor. One user wrote,
“Stand-up comedians ki job ab khatre mein hai.” (Stand-up comedians’ jobs are now in danger.)
Another joked,
“There’s panic among comedians now — Dhoni has entered the arena!”
A Different Kind of Legacy
MS Dhoni may have retired from international cricket, but moments like these show that he continues to live rent-free in the hearts of millions. Whether it’s hitting a winning six in a World Cup final or cracking a witty one-liner at a wedding, Dhoni knows exactly how to leave a lasting impact.
And if cricket was his first innings, who knows? With timing that perfect, maybe stand-up comedy or counseling could be his next.
