Sakshi ma'am was so humble she spoke to us like we are close to them, such a down to earth family... My daughter was bit scared to go and sit with MS Dhoni sir because sir was wearing mask, and Sakshi ma'am was like he is very scary and he scares me also, so she is not going to him... We are the luckiest and my daughter is so lucky and blessed," the fan wrote.
