EXCLUSIVE: Is there a spiritual connection to Virat Kohli visiting temples after marrying Anushka Sharma? Astro-Numerologist REVEALS
In May 2025, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket. Fans and admirers were taken aback by his sudden confession. However, within 24 hours, he was spotted at Premanand Maharaj's ashram in Vrindavan with his wife, Anushka Sharma. Fun fact? Virat Kohli was never a 'pooja-paath' person.
Virat's spiritual journey began after getting hitched to his Indian actress Anushka Sharma in 2017. Their love story wasn't just a romantic chapter in Virat's life. Instead, it was the beginning of a deeper awakening. Anushka Sharma didn't just support him through thick and thin, but rather she reintroduced Virat to himself.
Did love, care, concern, and respect prevailing between the couple transform the perspective of Indian cricketer Virat Kohli toward life and spirituality? Astro-Numerologist Prashant Kapoor, in an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, revealed certain interesting facts about how intense love and spirituality can make a significant impact in one's life.
Kohli's spiritual awakening has been closely tied to his life with Anushka Sharma. Spirituality has a huge impact on one's relationship. Astrologer Prashant Kapoor states that a belief in spirituality comes through a continued expression of care, concern, and mutual respect. In the case of Virat Kohli, he was someone who did not appear to be a spiritual person. He never believed in 'pooja-paath'. As time evolved, the cricketer found his soulmate, and their love soared.
The soulful love between the couple reflects through their way of respecting each other. When you respect the other person, you tend to listen to them. And then spirituality comes into the picture, he stated.
According to Astro-numerologist Prashant, Virat is deeply in love with Anushka, and that intensity makes him believe that whatever his partner says or does is right. Nonetheless, Virat has truly transformed.
Virat never fondly worshipped or believed in God. But today, he believes in his love. That belief seizes the first spot, and then comes the belief in spirituality. Virat visited Premanand Maharaj's ashram, Kaal Bhairav temple, and Neem Karoli Baba's ashram not because of a sudden connection to the spiritual world, but out of respect for his wife.
From the young cricketer who wore his emotions on his sleeves, he now strives to be a more composed and calm person. Though fiercely private about their family and often trying to shield their children, Vamika and Akaay, from the public eye, the couple has made spiritual travel a consistent part of their lives.

Pinkvilla Predicts: The opening day box office collections for Metro In Dino, Son Of Sardaar 2, War 2, Superman and other movies
July 2025 is shaping up to be a spectacular month for theatres, with a diverse mix of Hollywood giants and Bollywood biggies releasing. From action-packed sequels to heartfelt dramas, the box office is buzzing with anticipation. Pinkvilla Predicts The Opening Day Collection Of Upcoming Movie Releases In India Pinkvilla predicts the opening day collections for ten major releases:- Jurassic World: Rebirth, Metro... In Dino, Superman, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, Maalik, Nikita Roy, Saiyaara, Fantastic Four: First Steps and Son of Sardaar 2. We are also adding the August release, War 2, for the sheer size of film that it is. July 4, 2025: Jurassic World: Rebirth, Metro In Dino The month starts with a clash of titans. Jurassic World: Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, brings high-octane dinosaur action. Directed by Gareth Edwards, its global appeal and holiday release should drive crowds. An opening of Rs 9.50 to Rs 10.50 crore can sure be expected. Dino, Anurag Basu 's anthology with Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, and many others, explores urban romance. Its nostalgic tie to Life in a Metro, and Pritam's music should earn it Rs 3.25 - 3.75 crore net. Had it not been delayed so much, and had it not released in such a busy release season, it could have opened to Rs 6 crore or more. July 11, 2025: Superman, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, Maalik A triple clash follows. Superman, directed by James Gunn with David Corenswet, rides on DC's hype. The predictions for the movie are still at a conservative Rs 7.50 - 8.50 crore net, since it is the most word-of-mouth dependent movie of the summer. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, a romantic drama with Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, should appeal to emotional audiences. It is pegged to collect Rs 1.50 - 2 crore net and then grow if word of mouth is favourable. Maalik, a crime drama starring Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chhillar, is expected to draw Rs 3.00 - 3.50 crore net, with its intense narrative. July 18, 2025: Nikita Roy, Saiyaara, Tanvi The Great Nikita Roy, a thriller starring Sonakshi Sinha and directed by Kush S. Sinha, releases on July 18. It is running low on buzz and it may barely net Rs 20 - 25 lakh on its opening day. Saiyaara, a romantic drama with debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, backed by Mohit Suri's direction and hit music, is predicted to earn a reasonable Rs 3.25 - 3.75 crore net. Anupam Kher's Tanvi The Great seems promising but the film lacks the star power, thrill and excitement to fill theatres. An opening day of Rs 20 - 25 lakh net is what is expected, as for now. July 25, 2025: Fantastic Four: First Steps, Son of Sardaar 2 The final July week sees Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel's reboot with Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, bringing the MCU excitement back. A decent Rs 7.00 - 8.00 crore net is expected from the biggie. Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, offers action-comedy and Devgn's mass appeal. The pre-release units so far suggest an opening of around Rs 8.50 - 9.50 crore net. This would be seen as a low start for a sequel to a hit film. August 14, 2025: War 2 War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani and NTR Jr, is a YRF spy universe juggernaut directed by Ayan Mukerji. With massive hype, it's set to rake in Rs 57.5-58.50 crore net on its opening day. It has the potential to break the highest single day collections record on 15th August. The India Net Opening Day Prediction Of The Abovementioned Movies Is As Under Date Movie Net Opening Day July 4 Jurassic World: Rebirth Rs 9.50 - 10.50 crore July 4 Metro... In Dino Rs 3.50 - 4 crore July 11 Superman Rs 7.50 - 8.50 crore July 11 Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Rs 1.50 - 2.00 crore July 11 Maalik Rs 3.00 - 3.50 crore July 18 Nikita Roy Rs 20 - 25 lakh July 18 Saiyaara Rs 3.25 - 3.75 crore July 18 Tanvi The Great Rs 20 - 25 lakh July 25 Fantastic 4: First Steps Rs 7.00 - 8.00 crore July 25 Son Of Sardaar 2 Rs 8.50 - 9.50 crore August 14 War 2 Rs 57.50 - 58.50 crore The Unconsidered Films There are a couple of films in the mix, like Param Sundari and Dhadak 2, whose release dates are still not clear to most. Once there is clarity regarding the same, they will be added in the next Pinkvilla Predicts feature. Also, other industry releases have not been considered. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on upcoming Indian movie releases.

When Nayanthara said she does not have friends in industry: ‘I reserve personal connections'
Nayanthara is a powerhouse of incredible talent and is one of the most sought-after actresses. Known for some of her fearless statements and choices, the actress has risen up to pan-Indian fame over the years. However, having spent so many years in the film industry, the diva has never made any personal connections or friends among people she has worked with. In one of her older revelations, the Jawan actress had spilled beans on the same. Why does Nayanthara not have friends from the film industry? Previously, in an old interview with Kairali TV, Nayanthara revealed the reason behind why she has never made any genuine friendships with people from the movie industry. The actress explained how she could never make any solid friendships because she does not work with the same people on every film. In her words: 'It's hard to build and maintain close friendships in the industry, mainly because we don't work with the same people on every film. Once a shoot wraps and we say our goodbyes, we might only see each other occasionally at events or parties." Nayanthara spills beans on a handful of genuine friends she has In the same breath, the Mookuthi Amman star highlighted that so far in her life, there's only been a handful of genuine friends which she has and to whom she gives a lot of value. She feels those are the only people genuinely her friends since they know everything about her and will always show up whenever she is in need. Nayanthara said, 'I maintain only professional relationships with my colleagues in the industry. I reserve personal connections for people I know well. I give a lot of value to friendship.' She added, 'In life, I may have only two or three people who know me very well and whom I can genuinely call friends. They know everything about me. They're the kind of people who would show up immediately if I ever needed anything.' Nayanthara's work front Coming to her work front, the actress is currently busy with a lot of projects. After her last stint in the Netflix movie Test, she now has Yash 's multi-starrer movie Toxic-A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups. She is pairing up with Chiranjeevi in Mega 157 and is also sharing the screen space with Mohanlal and Mammootty's film Patriot.

Maalik Trailer HONEST REVIEW: Rajkummar Rao's 2.0 version will thrill you – unexpected pairing with Manushi Chhillar might just work
Rajkummar Rao in a never-seen-before avatar is here to rule the screens and how! The badass Maalik is here to prove he can do anything, and watch out for what seems like one of his most powerful performances on the big screen. A combination of Ranbir Kapoor' s Animal and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, a new hero has arrived and we ain't complaining a bit. That swag walk, those dialogue deliveries, and the body language, Rao is sure to send chills down your spines. Maalik's trailer The teaser begins with a powerful dialogue from Rajkummar Rao, where he is talking to his on-screen father. He tells him, "Majboor baap ka beta hai, kismat thi humari. Par aapko majboot beta ka baap banna padega, kismat hai aapki." (I am the son of a helpless father; it was my fate. But you will have to become the father of a strong son; it is your fate.) It is the confidence and the ease with which he holds the gun, shoots, and walks away in the scene that is going to make him a winner. The full-grown beard and moustache suit him perfectly, and we have to admit that we might be falling in love with his new rugged avatar. Manushi Chhillar and Rajkummar Rao's chemistry Bollywood films often surprise us with fresh pairings, and Maalik also introduces us to a brand new pair of Manushi Chhillar and Rajkummar Rao. These two look like a breath of fresh air, and we bet fans cannot wait to watch what they have got in store for us. Not to miss out, the actress can be seen in a desi avatar and looks gorgeous. We have seen Rajkummar excel in his comic timing, romance, the thriller genre, and emotional roles, too, but now it's time to see him unleash his inner beast in a full-fledged action film. Set in Allahabad, it follows a gangster who rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld and establishes his dominance. His thick beard has added a touch of reality to his daring role, and his transformation has wowed netizens. Backed by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, the movie is slated to hit the big screen on July 11, 2025. Besides Rajkummar and Manushi Chhillar, it also stars Prosenjit Chatterjee. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such updates!
