India’s star batsman Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma visited Vrindavan to meet Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj along with their kids, Vamika and Akaay.
“Never seen an Indian cricketer like Virat Kohli! His devotion and spirituality are truly inspiring, and it’s heartwarming to see how Anushka Sharma has brought such beautiful changes in his life. 💞 #ViratKohli #AnushkaSharma

A video has gone viral on social media, in which the couple is seen seeking blessings from Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj. In the video, Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj is heard praising Anushka for keeping Virat Kohli on the path of humility and faith despite being one of the most successful people of his generation.
The video also shows Anushka Sharma saying to the guru, “Last time we came, I had some questions in my mind. I thought I would ask something but everyone sitting there had asked you something like that. It’s like I was speaking with you within our own heads. The next day I would open Ekantik Vartalap (Premanand’s sermons streamed online) and someone or the other would be asking the same question.”
Towards the end of the video clip, Anushka says, “I would like to ask you to give us prem-bhakti.”
Premanand provided a heart-touching response to Anushka’s plea: “Both of you are very brave. To achieve all this in the world, to turn towards bhakti (devotion) is very difficult. I think you will certainly receive the answer for your devotion.”
After returning from Australia, Kohli will prepare for the ICC Champions Trophy in February.
This isn’t the first time Kohli has visited a spiritual place. A couple of years ago, when Kohli was experiencing a rough patch, he visited the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Kainchi Dham with his wife.
