It was not easy to get clicked with Mahi and give him his handwritten letter.
Here’s How Wasim Met MS Dhoni:
“He was in Bangalore for four days. I went daily to his hotel, Ritz Carlton. Tough luck! I waited 8 hours for him every day but failed to get a glimpse of him. I used to sit in the lobby, gym, even outside the swimming pool and spa. Not only hotel, I even tried in the practice session in the stadium. I wanted to try everything which was possible to meet him (Dhoni),” he said.
Adding, how he finally managed to meet him after a bit of inquiry, Adil said,
“Then I tried meeting him on the match day, in the morning. I enquired that he eats his breakfast at 10 am, so I decided to went to the hotel in the early morning at 6 am and waited for four long hours. And then I saw MSD coming, I couldn’t control. I was eating and I left the plate. He was sitting near the bar, so I got up and went there. I had to wait and stand right next to his table for 45 mins, as he had four security guards for him.”
“So I started crying because they didn’t allow me to meet MS. Then I told the guards that I have been running for him for last four days and I can’t stay back now. I also showed them what I have got for Dhoni sir. Then one of the guards said he will talk to Dhoni first. I waited there until he finished his chat with MSD and then I saw Dhoni sir getting up from his breakfast.”
“People ran to him for photos and my heart was beating fast, as I didn’t want to lose this opportunity. But a miracle happened, Dhoni sir approached to me and I couldn’t control and burst into tears. Then he was like, ‘why are you crying?’ and he hugged me. I gave him the letter and he took it and replied ‘Thank You!’,” Qasim signed off with a happy ending.
Qasim would never forget this moment forever in his entire life. Dhoni has always been very vocal in showing his support for the fans.
