MS Dhoni turns stand-up comic at wedding, fans say ‘Thala did graduation in marriage'
A clip showing Dhoni at the event has gone viral, where he offers cheeky life tips to the bride and groom on stage. The light-hearted exchange begins with Dhoni remarking, "Shaadi bahot acchi cheez hai par karne ki jaldi tumhe this (Marriage is a great thing but you were in a hurry to do it)." The statement drew laughter from the newlyweds' family and friends.
The cricketer then looked at the groom and quipped, 'Kuch log aag se khelna pasand karte hain, yeh unmein se hai (Some people like to play with fire, he's one of them).'
As laughter rang out again, Dhoni added, "All husbands here are the same. It hardly matters aap World Cup jeete ho ya nahi," leaving everyone in splits.
The ex-India captain also had some advice for the bride. Dhoni told her not to say anything when her husband gets angry because, more often than not, "we just calm down after 5 minutes."
He congratulated the pair and walked down to join the other guests as chants of "Dhoni, Dhoni" rang out.
The clip earned praise from Indians on social media, many of whom hailed Dhoni's comedic timing. "Stand-up comedians ki job ab khatre mein," said one user.
Another added, "Thala did graduation in marriage and love department."
Others were delighted to see Captain Cool tune into his comedic side in public. "I have never seen Dhoni speak so freely and joke. Captain Cool post-retirement is a delight to watch," said one of them.

Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee's cryptic ‘baby reveal' post leaves fans guessing
Did Tiffany Haddish just welcome a baby with longtime friend, and Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee? One mysterious Instagram post followed by complete radio silence has sent fans spiraling. The 45-year-old actress and comedian shared a picture of herself on her Instagram handle on August 4, holding a baby, alongside Jason Lee and a stroller, with the caption, 'Cats out the bag ❤️'. No context, no backstory, just vibes - and a whole lot of social media speculation! Tiffany Haddish fuels new baby rumours with cryptic Instagram post that has fans buzzing.(AFP) Debunking the Instagram post The first image shows the Girls Trip actress wearing a cropped denim dress, all smiles, while holding a confused-looking baby in a blue beanie and tiny Jordans, with Lee (who is openly gay) standing next to her, wearing a white graphic t-shirt and holding onto a green stroller. The second image zooms into what appears to be the happy family, with the pair looking lovingly at the child. Fans wasted no time getting their Sherlock Holmes' gear on, as their speculations and a frenzy of humorous reactions sent the internet into overdrive. Comments and fan reactions Actress and director Tasha Smith was among the confused batch of commentators, wondering 'What does this mean', while a fan confessed, 'What is the cat because I just see you and tiff with someone baby,' and a third went, 'Someone go get the cat, I got questions 🤔.' While congratulatory comments gushed in, there are several theories in the air - adoption, surrogacy, wedding rumours, and even questions about the image being AI generated.

However, it is common knowledge that Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee are not involved in a romantic relationship, despite having been very close for a long time. Fans are linking this back to a November 2024 episode of Hollywood Unlocked, where the pair engaged in a humorous exchange about going splitsies on a baby. 'You did promise me you would give me a kid,' Lee, 47, reminded Haddish, 'So I had Cardi B here, she's already said she'll be my kid's godmother. You said you would give me a kid. Are you serious about that?' Haddish responded, 'Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about the cost of… 'cause I said I wanted to do it the old fashioned way—you said no. So I want to talk to you about the cost of [having a baby].' What once seemed like a lighthearted joke now has fans wondering if something actually happened behind the scenes.

Keeping aside all the detective equipment, there have been no statements from either Haddish or Lee confirming or denying anything. Bottom line, the cat is still pretty much in the bag - maybe the comedian is having a good laugh at everyone's expense, or maybe she is actually a mother now, in which case, congrats to the new mom!
