Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharmas London Café Video Sparks Buzz About Permanent UK Move
A charming, candid video of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma casually sipping coffee at a quaint London bakery has once again taken the internet by storm. Originally filmed in the summer of 2023, the clip recently resurfaced on fan pages, adding fuel to the ongoing buzz about the power couple's potential move to the UK. The video captures the duo in a relaxed moment, seemingly unaware of a fan recording them from behind the pastry counter. The fan later met the couple and shared selfies on Instagram, captioning her excitement with 'I'm dying.' The interaction was met with widespread admiration online, with fans praising Kohli and Anushka for their humility and warmth despite being global icons. Virat Kohli and anushka spotted London street. — muffatball vikrant (@Vikrant_1589) July 2, 2025 Virat Kohli and anushka spotted London street — ikka villager (@ikkadua_18) July 1, 2025 Kohli's Discomfort Highlights the Couple's Desire for Privacy While fans were thrilled by the rare public sighting, reports indicate that Kohli was not entirely pleased with being filmed without his consent. This has sparked a deeper conversation around the couple's growing concerns regarding privacy. The incident echoes earlier statements made by public figures—like Dr. Sriram Nene, husband of Madhuri Dixit—who noted how public personalities in India often struggle to enjoy their success due to relentless scrutiny. These sentiments may very well be the driving force behind Virushka's reported desire to relocate. As public speculation intensifies, several insiders suggest the couple is exploring a quieter life abroad—particularly for the sake of their children, Vamika and Akaay. Family First: A Shift Toward a More Private Life in the UK? According to multiple media outlets, Kohli and Sharma have been spending extended periods in London. Now, rumors suggest they may be planning a full-time move. Sources close to the family and Virat's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, have hinted that this transition is more than a mere vacation plan. The coach's comments have only added credibility to the swirling reports. The couple's motive seems rooted in their desire to provide their children with a more 'normal' upbringing—away from the glare of paparazzi and public pressure that comes with being born into fame in India. Emotional Moments on the Field Add to the Narrative The resurfaced London video comes on the heels of a historic moment in Kohli's cricketing career—lifting the IPL trophy for the first time in 18 years with Royal Challengers Bangalore. In an unforgettable scene, a visibly emotional Kohli ran to Anushka for a tearful hug, a moment that dominated headlines and reaffirmed the strength of their bond. Speaking after the final, Kohli said, 'This team made the dream possible, a season I'll never ever forget. We've thoroughly enjoyed the ride over the last 2.5 months.' The sentiment further humanized a man often known for his fierce on-field persona, showing a softer, family-focused side. Public Opinion Divided: Should Virushka Move to the UK? As speculation gains traction, fans are split. While many support the couple's decision to prioritize family and privacy, others feel their departure would mark the end of an era in Indian celebrity culture. A poll conducted on social media asking if the couple should relocate received thousands of responses. A majority expressed empathy, noting that Kohli and Sharma deserve the right to raise their kids away from constant media attention.

Sunny Deol's Lavish Entourage Includes Gym, Cooks And Badminton Court, Says Puneet Issar: 'Raja Aadmi Hai'
Last Updated: Puneet Issar defends Sunny Deol's lavish entourage, saying the king-size travel costs didn't burden producers. As Bollywood struggles with soaring production costs and underperforming films, one ongoing debate is about the rising expenses caused by stars' large entourages. From personal chefs to stylists, these support teams often add significantly to a film's budget. But actor Puneet Issar recently shared a different take when recalling his experience working with Sunny Deol. During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Puneet remembered shooting Border (1997) and said Sunny has always travelled in style—but never at the producer's expense. 'Sunny raja aadmi hai. Woh jahan jaata hai raja ki tarah jata hai. Uska pura entourage chalta hai. Uske cooks bhi aayenge, badminton ka court bhi hoga, pura gym jayega." Puneet said Sunny even went the extra mile to accommodate others. 'He will ask you that I am travelling with all of this weight, if there is anything that you also want to carry so he can load it up as well." He added, 'Sunny is like king, like an emperor. That's the way Sunny Deol is." When asked if today's big entourages were impacting film budgets, Puneet said things were different earlier. 'I don't think Sunny would put the bill on the producer. That's why I said, he is a king. Even Salman is like that. It's a requirement, it's a must for them, they need it, they have to workout." He pointed out that having an entourage isn't new, citing stars from the golden era of Bollywood. 'Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Dilip Kumar"—all of them had their people with them on set. Meanwhile, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has a more critical view of today's spending patterns. In a previous interview with Humans of Cinema, he said a lot of money is being wasted on things that don't improve the film itself. 'They are not spending the money on the film. People need to come back to this whole reality check. One thing people need to understand is that when we make a film, we're working, we're creating something. It's not a holiday, it's not a picnic. A lot of money that is spent doesn't go into making the film. It goes into the paraphernalia; it goes into the entourage. You're shooting in the middle of a jungle, but one car will be sent to the city three hours away specifically to get you that five-star burger you want. You don't get into the process of it."
