“As I said, I wanted to share a secret with all of you. Right from, when I was a kid, I always wanted to become an artist. So, I decided I have played a lot of cricket and it is time for me to take up what I really wanted to become. So, I started getting into painting and there are few paintings that I have made for myself. And, I think I am ready for it, I wanted it to be my career. I have started preparing for my first art exhibition, which is still some time (away),” Dhoni said in the video.
