Former Indian cricketer MS Dhoni recently met celebrated singer Nitin Mukesh and his family. 

On Sunday, Nitin shared a picture with Dhoni on his official Instagram handle. He revealed that the former Indian cricket captain loves his father Mukesh's popular track, 'Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon' and not just that, he sings it passionately as well.

Calling Dhoni a 'National Treasure', Nitin Mukesh wrote the caption, "I HAVE TWO REASONS TO BE PROUD OF TODAY : FIRSTLY , THAT I MET THIS ILLUSTRIOUS , LEGENDARY SON OF INDIA…SECONDLY , HE LOVES THE SONG “MAIN PAL DO PAL KA SHAYAR HU“ AND THAT HE SINGS IT TOO… WITH THE SAME PASSION…YOU ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE , MS DHONI SIR…“THALA” FOR A REASON….(sic)"
