Following his recent retirement announcement from Test cricket, Virat Kohli, accompanied by his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, visited Vrindavan to seek blessings at the Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram. This visit, like their previous ones, has drawn considerable attention, with videos and images circulating on social media. During their visit, a seemingly lighthearted moment sparked a wider conversation online.
Videos show the couple interacting with Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj. In one such interaction, the spiritual leader affectionately asks Kohli, "Prasanna ho? (Are you happy?)". Kohli responds, "Ji, abhi thik hain (Yes, I'm okay)," to which Maharaj Ji replies, "You should stay well".
While this exchange was simple, another part of their interaction caught the attention of fans. It seems that prior to this exchange, Virat Kohli jokingly asked someone, "Do I look like I do pooja-path?". This comment quickly went viral, generating a range of reactions and discussions across social media platforms.
The couple's visit to Vrindavan occurred shortly after Kohli's announcement of his retirement from Test cricket. The 36-year-old cricketer ended his 14-year-long red-ball career with 9,230 runs in 123 matches, including 30 centuries. Kohli's retirement was met with an outpouring of emotions from fans and fellow cricketers alike. Anushka Sharma penned a heartfelt message, celebrating his dedication and evolution throughout his Test career.
This is not the first time Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have visited Vrindavan. They have a longstanding bond with Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj and have been spotted at his satsangs multiple times. In fact, the couple had visited Vrindavan in January of this year. Premanand Maharaj has also publicly acknowledged Anushka's positive influence on Virat, noting that she helps him stay grounded despite his success. During this recent visit, Anushka was seen asking the Maharaj if chanting God's name leads to ultimate peace, to which he replied affirmatively. Videos also captured a moment where Anushka Sharma appeared emotional during their conversation with Premanand Maharaj.
Over the years, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have been seen visiting various spiritual destinations, including the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain and Neem Karoli Baba's ashram in Uttarakhand. These visits suggest a spiritual side to the couple, seeking solace and blessings during significant life transitions.
