Netizens captured MS Dhoni following one of Alia Bhatt’s fanpages

On October 24, 2023, an X user posted two screen grabs from MS Dhoni’s official Instagram handle. In the initial picture, we saw the cricket player’s five-follower Instagram profile. When we opened the list of IG handles that Mahi was following, we also saw one of Alia Bhatt’s fanpages. As a result, social media users quickly commented that either Mahi had followed Alia Bhatt’s fanpage by mistake or that it was his daughter Ziva’s actions.

However, Dhoni quickly took the matter seriously, as evidenced by his IG handle’s ‘following’ list. The cricketer appeared to have taken potential actions against the same, either individually or with his team. Moreover, there are currently just four accounts shown in the ‘following’ section of Mahi’s official Instagram handle. Additionally, it is currently not possible to follow Alia Bhatt’s fan page.
