All set to star in Satish Kaushik’s upcoming Bollywood flick, Rai does not need Dhoni to make headlines. Recently rumours of her acting in X-rated films, and clandestine pictures of the actress hit the internet. “The news wasn’t true. I’ve always been in news for some reason or the other. Lakshmi Rai is a hot topic for news. There were never any vulgar pictures of me on the net.”

As for Dhoni, she says: “As far as our friendship is concerned, there’s nothing wrong with going out for a cup of coffee. Just that he’s the captain of the cricket team and I’m a celebrity so this is the news people have been waiting for…

Dhoni’s never been in a serious relationship with anyone” she says adding, “Anyway, if something was going on between us, I wouldn’t have kept it a secret.”
