A Memorable Meeting

Actor Jayaram recently recounted a delightful experience he had while attending a Chennai Super Kings match, where he met Sakshi Dhoni, the wife of cricket legend MS Dhoni.

During a promotional event for his upcoming film 'Parimalam & Co', Jayaram shared that while seated in the stadium, Sakshi approached him and unexpectedly touched his feet. This gesture left him astonished.

He humorously remarked, "I initially thought she might have confused me with someone else," but later realized that Sakshi was indeed aware of his identity. He mentioned that their daughter Ziva's nanny, who is Malayali, used to sing his popular song 'Ambalappuzha Unnikannanodu' to soothe Ziva to sleep.

Jayaram elaborated, "This encounter took place just a week ago. I was in Chennai for an IPL match when I noticed Dhoni's wife, Sakshi, coming towards me. I whispered to the person beside me, 'That's Dhoni's wife.' To my surprise, she ran over and touched my feet, expressing her admiration for me."

He continued, "I was utterly taken aback. I thought she might have mistaken me for someone else, but she genuinely recognized me. Their nanny would sing 'Ambalappuzha Unnikannanodu' from my film to help Ziva fall asleep."

On the professional front, 'Parimalam & Co' holds special significance as it marks the reunion of Jayaram and Urvashi on screen after two decades. Directed by Pandiraj, the film boasts an impressive cast, including Yogi Babu, Mysskin, Sandy, and Sanjana Krishnamurthy.
