Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma Spotted in London, Viral Video Sparks Privacy Debate Among Fans
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were recently spotted enjoying serene moments in London, with videos of the celebrity couple quickly going viral across social media platforms. Dressed casually and enjoying the calm surroundings, the duo appeared relaxed and at peace, away from the ever-buzzing spotlight of Indian media. As soon as the visuals surfaced online, fans flooded the internet with reactions — many urging the public and paparazzi to respect their privacy. One user commented, “Leave them alone,” while another wrote, “London is too lucky to have them… don’t disturb them there… let them live happily.” A third remarked humorously, “India mai bhao khate hai… bahar koi puchta nahi,” highlighting the contrast in public reaction inside and outside India. Some even questioned the origin of the footage, asking, “Camera man India ka hai kya?”
These glimpses of the couple in London reignited conversations around their preference for privacy and low-profile living, especially post-parenthood. Their desire to live a quieter life away from relentless public scrutiny was earlier discussed in a podcast hosted by Ranveer Allahbadia, where Dr Sriram Nene, husband of Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit, shed light on the couple’s lifestyle choices. Dr Nene revealed, “We had a conversation with Anushka one day, and it was very interesting. They were thinking about moving to London because they can’t enjoy their success here. And we appreciate what they go through, because anything they do attracts attention.” He further added, “We almost become isolated… there’s always a selfie moment. Not in a bad way, but there comes a time when it becomes intrusive, especially during private dinners or lunches.”
This strong need for privacy also explains why Virat and Anushka have gone to great lengths to keep their children away from media exposure. Since the birth of their daughter Vamika in 2021 and their son Akaay in 2024, the couple has consistently shielded them from paparazzi, choosing not to reveal their faces publicly. According to Dr Nene, “Anushka and Virat are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally.”
The relationship between the cricketing icon and the Bollywood superstar has always been one of public fascination. Their love story began in 2013 during the shoot of a television commercial. They maintained privacy throughout their courtship and eventually tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony in 2017. Since then, the couple has emerged as one of India’s most admired and followed celebrity pairs, known not just for their professional achievements but also for their grounded approach to life and family.
As the viral videos continue to make waves, the ongoing conversation about celebrity privacy, media boundaries, and work-life balance in the digital age has once again taken center stage.
