Some relationships just refuse to die. It's been a good five years since actor Lakshmi Rai has broken up with cricketer MS Dhoni, but she says she still keeps stumbling upon reports that talk about their affair and she hates it.

The actress changed her name to Raai Laxmi and has been in three relationships since, but the past seems to stick on. "I've begun to believe that my relationship with Dhoni is like a stain or a scar which won't go away for a long time. I am surprised that people still have the energy and patience left to talk about it even now. Every time TV channels dig into Dhoni's past, they make it a point to bring up our relationship. I dread to think that someday my kids in future will see it on TV and ask me about it!" Laxmi says, laughing. "I have had three or four relationships after Dhoni, but no one seems to have noticed it."

However, there seems to be no love lost between her and Dhoni. "I knew him really well and don't know if I can call it a relationship because it never worked out. We still have respect for each other. He has moved on and gotten married. That's the end of the story. I am a very happy person right now and work is my priority," she says.

The actress confesses to being single. "I last dated a businessman three years ago. I've just been in love with my work," she reveals.
