Cooking for the kids
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are not just one of India's most loved celebrity couples — they're also proud parents who believe in doing the little things themselves, including cooking for their kids. In a rare and heartfelt chat during an event in Mumbai back in September 2024, the 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' actress opened up about parenthood, food, and how she and Virat make sure to pass on family traditions to their children.The 'Sultan' actress, known for keeping her personal life private, spoke openly about how she and Virat cook for their daughter Vamika and baby son Akaay. 'We had this discussion at home that if we don't make the food our moms made at home, then we won't be passing these recipes on to our kids,' Anushka said.She went on to share how both she and Virat try to keep their mothers' cooking traditions alive. 'So, sometimes I cook, and sometimes my husband (Virat Kohli) cooks, and we really try to replicate the way our mothers did. I cheat a little by calling my mom to ask for recipes, but it's so important. It's like you're passing on something valuable to your children.'While Anushka's talk about cooking made headlines, she also stressed the importance of maintaining a routine for her children, even with their busy schedules and constant travel.The 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' actress added, 'I am very particular about routine. We travel a lot as a family, and my kids experience many changes in their lives. So, by creating a routine for them, I am giving them a sense of control. Meal times are fixed—no matter where we are, we eat at the same time and sleep at the same time. It helps them regulate themselves much better.'

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.

Fact Check: Virat Kohli Caught Smoking? Viral Image Sparks Debate on Social Media - Here's The Truth Behind The Picture
Amidst a quiet phase following his retirement from Test cricket and India's T20 World Cup 2024 win, Virat Kohli has unexpectedly found himself trending again — this time for all the wrong reasons. A photo has gone viral on social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the legendary Indian cricketer was seen smoking a cigarette. The image quickly spread across the internet, triggering debate and confusion among fans. With Kohli not making any public appearances since Royal Challengers Bengaluru's historic IPL 2025 triumph, the viral photo added fuel to fan speculation. Do u think he is really smoking ? @grok Hiding in X (@DHarsHaDr) June 29, 2025 blud started smoking, looks like he wasn't able to cope with the loses of 11 lives lost in chinnaswamy stampede ex. capt (@thephukdi) June 28, 2025 Is this Virat Kohli? Is he smoking??? — Sai (@TheDiaryofSai) June 28, 2025 Fact Check Is It Virat Or Not? Contrary to online claims, the man in the image is not Virat Kohli. The viral picture is not even new. It originally surfaced in 2023 and again in March 2024, causing similar confusion back then. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the individual in the image is Pawan Kumar, a known lookalike of Virat Kohli. The photo was taken at the One8 Commune restaurant in Bengaluru, which is owned by Kohli himself. Pawan Kumar was seen smoking hookah, leading to the mistaken identity. This is not the first time Kumar's resemblance to Kohli has misled fans, but the confusion was cleared by fact-checkers and fan pages shortly after the image first went viral over a year ago. Virat Kohli: A Disciplined Athelete Virat Kohli is well-known for his disciplined lifestyle. He has consistently maintained a strict fitness regime and publicly spoken against smoking and drinking. Kohli transformed his physique over the years and credited his clean lifestyle for helping him extend his playing career at the highest level. His commitment to fitness and wellness has also inspired many young athletes to follow suit. In interviews, he has emphasized how dietary discipline and workout consistency were pivotal in his success. Post-IPL Silence and Fan Curiosity After leading RCB to their first-ever IPL title in 2025, Kohli has kept a low profile. His silence became even more prominent after the tragic Bengaluru victory parade stampede, which claimed 11 lives. Since then, Kohli hasn't made any public statements or appearances. This low visibility, coupled with his Test and T20I retirements, has left fans eagerly awaiting his next move particularly in the ODI format, which is now his sole focus in international cricket.
