“Kuch Sawaal They Mann Mein”: Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli Visit Premanand Maharaj

Star India batsman Virat Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma and children, recently visited the renowned priest Parmanand Maharaj in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. Kohli is having a terrible time in his professional career as he registered back-to-back low scores in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Tests against Australia. In the five-match series, which India lost 1-3, Kohli scored only 190 runs in nine innings, despite a century in the opening match. Many former cricketers and fans slammed Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma for their dismal shows and even calls for their retirement were made.

As the Australian Tests have ended and the Indian team is gearing up for the upcoming white-ball series against England, Kohli took some time to unwind and visited Parmanand Maharaj with his family at his ashram in Vrindavan.

Notably, both Virat and Anushka are dedicated followers of Lord Krishna and have been spotted numerous times during prayers and events, related to the Hindu God.

In a video going viral on social media, the couple was seen taking the blessings of Parmanand Maharaj, along with their adorable kids Vamika and Akaay.

While meeting Maharaj, Anushka said, “The last time we came to man I said something to him. I thought that I would leave but Job was also sitting in the vehicle, and everyone was asking some kind of question like that. When they were talking about coming here, I was talking to myself. Next day main Kanti opened the conversation and no one was asking the same question. You just give me your love. (The last time I came, I had a few questions in my heart. I wanted to ask those questions but someone else more or less covered it. When I was thinking about coming here, I was talking to you inside my mind. The next day, I would open ‘Kanti Vartalap’ and those questions would’ve been asked by someone. Now, all I want is your blessings.)

Seeing the devotion of the couple, Maharaj got emotional and said, “These guys are very brave. To devote yourself to God after achieving such fame in the world is quite a difficult thing. We think that your (Anushka’s) devotion towards God would have an impact on him (Kohli) as well.”
