Laxmi Rai, a popular South actress, has shifted base from Chennai to Mumbai. Laxmi Rai has been constantly linked to the Indian cricket captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Sources suggest Dhoni has no hand in this shift of location; it’s Laxmi’s promising Bollywood career which brought her to Mumbai.
Laxmi’s link-up with Dhoni came to light last December and since then they has been spotted together a lot. Laxmi prefers to call Dhoni only a friend and does not give him the full credit for getting recognition in Bollywood. She said, “Yes, people got to know me because of the link-up but it was a magazine cover that gave me a chance in Bollywood.”
Elaborating on what caused her to shift base, Laxmi said, “I was living in Chennai and would come down to Mumbai whenever there was a work opportunity. However, in the last few months, the offers have gone up, so I have shifted base to Mumbai.”
Laxmi has apparently been approached by Tips and Yash Raj films but may not be able to do the film because of the exclusive contracts they want her to sign. However, the actress refused to confirm the news. Laxmi said, “A lot of big banners have approached me and you will hear an announcement from their side very soon but at this stage, I cannot reveal any information.”
Unlike most of her contemporaries who prefer to stay in Andheri and Bandra, Laxmi prefers to live in Malad. Explaining her choice of location, Laxmi said, “I did go to Lokhandwala in Andheri (where most film stars stay) but it is too crowded. I like quieter places so I chose to stay in Malad.”
