Speculations about Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma settling in London have been circulating for some time. Recently, the couple was spotted attending a Krishna Das Kirtan in London, opting for a spiritual experience over the high-profile wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where most Bollywood celebrities were present.
A video shared on Reddit shows Virat and Anushka clapping and cheering during the kirtan, enjoying the live performance by American devotional singer Krishna Das, who greeted the audience with folded hands. This appearance drew significant attention online, with users praising the couple for their choice. One Reddit user humorously commented with a line from Panchayat Season 3, "Kohli to Ambani: Kijiye wedding, kheliye wedding wedding, karte rahiye wedding wedding, alhua wedding," highlighting their decision to prioritize personal peace over social obligations.
Fans also speculated about the couple's long-term plans. One user noted, “They’re securing ties for their future generations. Virat and Anushka seem to want a peaceful, private life as wealthy NRIs.” This aligns with Virat's earlier expressions of interest in settling abroad. In a video shared by RCB, the 35-year-old cricketer emphasized his commitment to living without regrets and giving his all in every endeavor. After India’s T20 World Cup win, Virat headed to London to be with Anushka and their children, Vamika and Akaay. The couple's visit to the ISKON temple in London, where they attended a kirtan to offer prayers to Lord Krishna, further emphasized their spiritual inclinations.
The couple's absence from the Ambani wedding prompted mixed reactions. While some praised their choice, others questioned it. A user pointed out, “If they don’t want to associate with the Ambanis, why did they invite them to their own reception? It's just a wedding invite, not a moral statement.” This highlights the varied perceptions of the couple's actions.
Despite the speculations and mixed reactions, Virat and Anushka seem focused on their family and spiritual well-being during their London stay. Their choice to attend the Krishna Das Kirtan instead of a high-profile wedding reflects their personal priorities and commitment to a peaceful life.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding saw many celebrities, including Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and John Cena. However, Virat and Anushka’s absence was notable, as they chose a different path for their personal fulfillment.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s decision to immerse themselves in a spiritual retreat in London while their peers engaged in a high-profile social event highlights their unique approach to life. Embracing spirituality and family time over social appearances, they continue to captivate their fans with their choices.
