MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant party video goes viral, sparking social media reactions

A viral video featuring Indian cricketers MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant at a private gathering has sparked widespread social media reactions, with Dhoni reportedly heard saying he would return after smoking hookah. The clip, shared on September 2, shows Pant relaxing on a sofa with a group before the team assembles for a photo. Dhoni is seen in the background and appears to tell an elderly person, "jara hookah peeke aata hu," translating to "I'll return after smoking hookah." The video's authenticity and location remain unverified, as Moneycontrol could not independently confirm when or where it was recorded. The hookah reference has drawn attention due to past accounts of players discussing Dhoni's indulgence in the activity.
