PUNE: MS Dhoni is not someone who gets bogged down by a loss or pepped up by a win. He’s a man who remains grounded no matter what, doing whatever it is that he has planned to do.
Hot on heels of an embarrassing defeat and a hard series against the Proteas, India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni spent over an hour with special children at a charity show.
Freely mixing with the physically and mentally challenged children who participated in a cultural show organised by the Mukul Madhav foundation here last night, Dhoni distributed gifts to them, bringing smiles on their faces even as a distinguished gathering of donors heartily applauded the gesture.
Cameras zoomed and clicked endlessly as Dhoni posed for pictures with the delighted kids, who turned out in colourful dresses for the song and dance programme that included a dance sequence of ‘Ganesh Vandana’ and the singing of the national anthem.
Noted industrialist Prakash Chhabria, who heads the Mukul Madhav foundation, told the audience that the funds raised on the occasion would go for various activities undertaken by the trust to provide medical and educational assistance to the weaker sections of the society.
