Did you know that MSD and his late girlfriend, Priyanka Jha, used to partially converse in Asuri? An insider reveals that few lines of the tribal language have been woven into the script of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Disha Patani, who plays the Indian cricket captain&rsquo;s former sweetheart, was asked to pick up the lingo in a fortnight.

&ldquo;Since Asuri is spoken in a few pockets of Jharkhand, Dhoni&rsquo;s home state, Disha trained with a tribal linguistic expert for two hours a day. He would also accompany her to the sets to guide her in getting the diction and accent correct. She will be speaking in Asuri in bits and parts, and not extensively,&rdquo; says a source close to the actress.
Asuri is an endangered language, adds the source. &ldquo;It is extremely difficult to learn Asuri since references to it are sparse. Only a handful of people in India speak the language. Moreover, there is hardly any script development for it.&rdquo;
Disha, who will mark her Bollywood debut with the film, says, &ldquo;It was quite a challenge, but an interesting experience too.&rdquo;
The actress is rumoured to be currently dating Tiger Shroff with whom she was paired for a recent music single.

At a recent event, the actor came close to admitting to their relationship as he said, &ldquo;I am not going to hide my relationship with her. I like going out with her.But it is nothing more than that.&rdquo;
