A viral clip recorded after MS Dhoni attended Bollywood star Salman Khan’s 60th birthday celebration at his Panvel farmhouse has sparked online speculation. Apparently, a packet of cigarettes was spotted inside the car he was travelling in, and fans have lost their minds.

Dhoni was seen leaving the party with his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, as photographers surrounded the vehicle, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cricket legend. 

Fans divided after cigarettes spotted inside MS Dhoni’s vehicle

During one of the close-up shots, eagle-eyed viewers noticed an object on the armrest of the back seat where Sakshi Dhoni was seated and that looked like a cigarette packet. 

Soon, screenshots and slowdown clips were shared on social media. This brief moment was enough to ignite debate online, with many users questioning whether Dhoni smokes. 

Fans were divided on the internet. Although some fans expressed dissatisfaction with Dhoni being a poor influence on youth, most fans supported Dhoni and argued that his habit of smoking should not be judged.

"Ms Dhoni 🗣️ It's AI 🤣" - @Atro_Boy09

"A bundle of cigarettes found in ms dhoni's car, this is really pathetic that being a role model in India he is giving wrong influence on the younger generation, previously also dhobi was spotted smoking hukka and cigarette. Have some shame dhobi" - @worshipcheeks_

"So what, he has cigarette or whatever, that is none of our business, why do we expect celeb to be god? He is human too! leave him alone guys." - @AkshayiWeb

That being said, there is no confirmation that the cigarette packet belonged to him. MS Dhoni was seated in the front seat with his wife, while at least one other person was also inside the car, making it unclear who the item actually belonged to. 

Also, adding context to the chatter are past stories about Dhoni’s fondness for hookah. Several former teammates have previously mentioned that MS Dhoni enjoys relaxed hookah sessions, especially during off-time. 

Videos of the 44-year-old enjoying hookah during trips to Dubai after his international retirement had earlier surfaced online, but they did not attract major controversy.

While the viral video has certainly caught attention, Dhoni has never publicly spoken about cigarette smoking, and the current speculation remains unverified.
