Narendra Singh Dhoni missing in MS Dhoni biopic, but why?
It is also true that Narendra has never been seen publicly with his brother. MS Dhoni’s wife and daughter are a popular celebrity. Dhoni’s sister Jayanti Gupta played a big role in the early stages of his cricketing career. It has pictures of MS Dhoni’s father Pan Singh Dhoni and mother Devki Devi. Dhoni’s biopic ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ also featured the family without the elder brother.
Why is Narendra Singh Dhoni never seen with brother MS Dhoni?
In an old interview to Telegraph India paper, Narendra talked about his absence in his brother’s biopic, saying that he is not in the film as he doesn’t have a major role to play in his life and career. He said that the film is about Mahi and not her family.
Narendra also said that by the time Dhoni developed an interest in cricket, he had moved out of Ranchi to study at Kumaon University. Narendra said, “Though I may have a moral contribution to Mahi’s life, it would be very difficult to portray it in the film.”
Some reports say that Narendra was a politician. He joined Samajwadi Party in 2013. Earlier he was in the Bharatiya Janata Party. There is no update whether Narendra is still holding any post in the party. Narendra is married on 21 November 2007 and has a son and a daughter.
