Let's start with Sakshi first. She studied in the same school as Dhoni, DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir and knew Dhoni. However, she had to leave the school midway after her father was transferred to Assam.

Sakshi joined the St. Mary's School in the state, where Anushka was studying, as the latter's father, Col. Ajay Kumar Sharma, was then posted in the state. It all happened in 1994, and since then, the two have become great friends.

In 2013, Anushka had first revealed the same in an interview. While they later chose different career paths, they still remained friends, with Anushka pursuing acting, as Sakshi studies hotel management, before eventually marrying two of the most successful Indian cricketers.

Two of their old pictures went viral, with a set happening from their childhood days in the school.

As for the other, it happens to be from their grown-up time.
