When Dhoni danced to Arijit’s song

A few years ago, Arijit Singh had come to perform during the opening ceremony of the IPL season. During this time, when he was singing the song of the film ‘Brahmastra’ in the stadium, along with thousands of fans present in the stadium, MS Dhoni sitting in the dugout was also dancing to his voice. In the same event, Arijit had also touched Dhoni’s feet and that post is again going viral on social media.

I am probably one of the biggest fans of Arijit Singh. Mesmerized by his talent and soulful voice. I am short of words actually.
