    Ranveer Dhoni
    “I was overworked and underpaid, but I didn’t care — I just wanted to be in HIS presence. I was even injured at the time, but I worked through the pain in the hope that as a reward for my sincere efforts, I would be granted a chance to briefly meet MSD and maybe get a photo with him. When I finally met him, I was completely awestruck. He was so humble, so down-to-earth, full of grace and exuded an unmistakable aura of kindness.” Singh then calls him a paragon of excellence and his hero forever. Image Credit: Instagram
