Photo: MS Dhoni is 'captain of industry' now, becomes CEO of MNC... but just for a day!


Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have taken a step back from captaincy on the cricket field, but it seems he's taken new steps towards becoming 'Captain of Industry'.

The 35-year-old cricketer, had added another feather to his already highly-decorated cap by being appointed as the CEO of Gulf Oil India. But hold on to your hats, Dhoni had the job only for a day.

Mahi, who will soon be seen in action in IPL 2017 with his franchise Rising Pune Supergiant, has been automobile lubricant giant's brand ambassador since 2011.


The company tweeted a picture of the former India skipper in the CEO's chair dressed in a blue suit and grey tie at Gulf Oil India's Mumbai head office.

The move was kept a surprise and left even the employees of the company stunned. As the CEO, Dhoni attended all the special meetings of the company throughout the day to get a feel of corporate life.

Dhoni's commercial interests manager Arun Pandey revealed that the firm and star wicketkeeper-batsman had been planning the day for a long time.

"As a CEO of the company for the day, Mahi has attended all the special meetings of the company. He will also take quite a few decisions, just like a real CEO," Pandey told Sportstar on Monday.
Dhoni's Pune franchise's first game of IPl 2017 will be at home when they take on Mumbai Indians on April 6.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Reaction of Nikunj Malik to Rahul Mahajan's Wedding With Dimpy Ganguly

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

Padmaavat box Office Collections on the First Saturday

Image
Padmaavat has emerged a huge winner at the box office as it grossed 27.50 crore nett on Saturday to take its three day total to 80.50 crore nett including paid previews. The film did not even drop in Delhi city and East Punjab after the big national holiday as these circuits have come on board in a huge way which is a first for a Bhansali film. The film could now go anywhere as now the content has worked and its getting the numbers whereas initially it was external factors. The film is a universal winner which means the circuits not playing would also have been doing optimum business. It is that first huge blockbuster in the 20 odd career of Sanjay Leela Bhansali but whether the blockbuster numbers come is anoather matter as the film is not being allowed to do its maximum business. Slowly more places are opening up but still a lot of potential business is missing. Normally Sunday growth would be huge for the film but here the big growth areas of Gujarat, Rajasthan and CI...
