MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's ego got a 'jhatka' when he bumped into Ram Gopal Varma at Bangalore airport recently. He walked up to Ramu to greet him and the director mistook him for a wannabe actor.

It's MS Dhoni's birthday today, ie July 7 and the captain will be celebrating it in Mumbai. The team has just returned to India after their West Indies tour and it's going to be a quiet dinner with his friends in Mumbai.
