Anushka Sharma, the stunning Bollywood actress who’s happily married to cricketer Virat Kohli, was actually classmates with none other than Sakshi Singh Dhoni, the wife of cricket legend MS Dhoni. Talk about a small world!
Anushka and Sakshi were both in the same school back in Assam. Anushka’s dad, Colonel (Retd.)

During one of her father’s postings in Assam, Anushka attended St Mary’s School in Margherita. Sakshi also happens to be an alumna of the same school. Can you believe it? This epic revelation came to light when some viral pics of the two beauties started making rounds on social media.
One of the throwback gems captured Anushka and Sakshi posing with their classmates. There were more pics of these two partying with their pals.

But wait, there’s more! Anushka even found a pic of Sakshi dressed as a fairy and herself rocking a ghaghara, channelling her idol Madhuri. Can you say adorable?
After their school days, Anushka chased her dreams and became a Bollywood sensation, while Sakshi pursued Hotel Management. Anushka and Virat took the plunge and tied the knot in December 2017, while Sakshi and Dhoni embarked on their beautiful journey of marriage back in July 2010.
