She mentioned, “If there’s something good, he might do it. He is not camera-shy. He has been acting in advertisements since 2006, and he is not afraid of facing the camera. So, he might do it if there’s something good.” When asked about the genre Dhoni would prefer, Sakshi replied, “Action. He is always in action.”
