Yes, BTown diva and Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma and MSD’s wife Sakshi Singh Dhoni attended the same school in Assam and were classmates.
During an event in 2013, Anushka revealed that her father Colonel (Retd) Ajay Kumar was in the Indian Army. And, when she was younger, they moved from one place to another quite a lot. She also revealed that she reunited with Sakshi after many years of leaving school and she remembered her childhood days when Sakshi told about her stay in Assam. The actress said that she too stayed in the same area.
