‘Go to Pakistan for….’- MS Dhoni advices fan to visit Pakistan in a viral video, gets outright rejected
MS Dhoni is currently going through rehabilitation after undergoing knee surgery in December. However, he is expected to get fit by IPL 2024 and will most probably lead CSK in the upcoming season. MS Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2019 and since then he has been seen playing cricket only during the IPL.
Even after not playing international cricket for quite some time now, MS Dhoni is still able to weave his tactical magic as he won the 5th title for CSK last year. However, despite being a cult figure in India, Mahendra Singh Dhoni recently found himself in a tricky situation when his genuine advice to a fan was outrightly rejected by a fan.
MS Dhoni faces rejection from a fan
The heart of the matter lies in a viral video capturing a candid moment between Dhoni and a fan. In this snippet, Dhoni suggested a fan of his visit to Pakistan for the best delicacies. “You should go to Pakistan once for the food,” Dhoni was seen saying in the video. Contrary to expectations, the fan rejects Dhoni’s advice outright. The fan said, “I’m not going there even if you suggest good food. I love food, but I won’t go there.”
Understanding the historical context is vital as India and Pakistan share a rock history which impacts the perception of the people living in these countries towards one another. The incident quickly permeates social media, generating a spectrum of reactions. Diverse opinions surface, reflecting the broader public’s stance on issues of national identity, pride, and cultural exchange.
MS Dhoni’s Pakistan connection
MS Dhoni himself is known to be a big foodie especially his love for butter chicken is also well-known among his fans. Therefore, his suggestion of Pakistan as his favourite food destination is no surprise for people as it is known for its amazing chicken delicacies.
MS Dhoni visited Pakistan during the historic 2006 tour under the captaincy of current Indian coach Rahul Dravid. MS Dhoni performed well in that series which even made the then Prime Minister of Pakistan- Parvez Musharraf, a fan of his hairstyle and cricketing prowess.
