Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma Seek Spiritual Solace Post Retirement, Spiritual Guru Offers Insightful Guidance

A day after officially announcing his retirement from Test cricket, Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli, accompanied by his wife and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, visited Premanand Ji Maharaj at the Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. The couple’s spiritual visit has drawn widespread attention across social media and news platforms, marking a peaceful turn in Kohli’s journey post his legendary career.

During the meeting, the spiritual leader asked Kohli, “Prasann ho?” (Are you happy?), to which the cricketer responded softly, “Abhi to thik hai” (For now, I am okay), reflecting a contemplative state of mind. The exchange offered a glimpse into Kohli’s emotional and mental space after his decision to step away from the red-ball format.

Anushka Sharma also engaged with the spiritual guru, inquiring about daily spiritual practices. Premanand Ji Maharaj shared wisdom rooted in Bhakti Yoga and personal discipline, emphasizing the importance of devotion and inner balance in today’s fast-paced world.

The visit comes at a pivotal time for Kohli, who retired after playing 113 Tests and scoring 9,230 runs, making him India’s fourth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket. His career has been one of extraordinary leadership, fierce competitiveness, and unwavering dedication to the sport.

A Spiritual Shift in Focus

The couple, often spotted attending spiritual events, chose Vrindavan — a deeply spiritual city known for its connection to Lord Krishna — as their destination for reflection and guidance. This visit symbolizes not just a break from cricket, but also a mindful step towards personal growth, spiritual grounding, and future planning.

Photos and videos from their interaction have gone viral, with fans and followers praising Kohli and Anushka for seeking wisdom and serenity during this transformative phase.
