A daughter is just a little girl who grows up into your best friend and sometimes a teacher! Cricketing legend, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's little daughter, Ziva is a perfect example of it.
A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with and love with all your heart! They are made up with lots of sugar and a little bit of spice. India’s beloved cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s world changed with the arrival of his little princess, Ziva Singh Dhoni. She blossomed in the Dhoni family on February 6, 2015.

In a throwback interview, M.S Dhoni had talked about his little daughter and how she changed him as a person with The Print. He had stated, “It is a very different feeling, and I personally find it very difficult to put it in words. It is more of an emotion, and I feel I have not really missed a lot of things in life, but after a while when I am outside, after a few days, I actually start missing Ziva. Not to the extent that it starts bothering my cricket and all, but it is the first time ever when I feel, maybe I should Facetime to see what she is really doing.”
Recently, we came across a video of little Ziva and wonder how grown up she has become. In the video, Ziva is giving her fluffy friend a lesson to remember, and why everyone should eat the vegetables. Take a look at the adorable video below:
In another interview, Dhoni had opened up about embracing fatherhood, and had shared, “Your life does change with the kind of smile the baby gives you. She doesn’t care whether I play for my country or play for a good franchisee like Chennai. She wants to cry, she cries. It gives a very good feeling.”
He had further added, “It gives a very good feeling. You know, the first willing hug from my daughter’s side came only in the last 15 days! I’m enjoying that and it’s actually a special moment — now she recognises me, and tries to interact with me. But since she’s spent way more time with her mom, she often calls me ‘mama’ instead of ‘papa’! But I’ve somehow learnt to make my peace with that.” (You May Also Like: Priyanka Chopra Jonas Told Nick Jonas She Can't Cook For Him, This Is How He Reacted)
Dhoni had also talked about his daughter in detail, and had revealed, “I don't know whether it has changed me as a cricketer, as a person yes of course because daughters are very close to their fathers. In my case the problem is when she (Ziva) was born I was not there (three years ago), most of the time I was playing cricket, so everything bad somehow is thrown at me (to deal with).”
He had also talked about his balancing act between work and family, and had said, “I had a wonderful time with her (Ziva), she was there for the whole of IPL and one of her biggest requests used to be I have to go to the ground, that is lawn for her. And also there are lot of kids in the team. I would get up by 1:30, 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon. Ziva is up by the time, she gets up by 8.30 or 9, have her breakfast, engage with everyone, start playing... I feel it just relaxes us a bit more when the kids are playing with each other.” (Don't Miss: Unseen Picture Of Anita Hassanandani And Rohit Reddy From One of Their First Dates, Check Inside)
