Laxmi-Rai- We're good friends and lovers

Lakshmi Rai has been in the news and though they're not exactly for the right reasons, she would yet have made the ladies jealous. Lakshmi, it was supposed, even met MS Dhoni in Chennai at the hotel where he put up for the Test match that concluded yesterday. But alas, as it often happens with news that the rumour mills generate, Lakshmi vehemently denies everything. "No. I didn't meet him during this tour since I was busy shooting elsewhere," says Lakshmi, who claims that the rumours of linkups with Dhoni had died down, only to resurface with the test match being played at Chennai. So, there's nothing at all? "The rumours are baseless," she categorically states, explaining, "They started when I participated in a couple of events with Dhoni during the IPL campaign. There were further whisperings as he came for my birthday party."
