Virat Kohli’s Post Sparks Rumors of Divorce with Anushka Sharma
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli caused a stir on social media with a recent post that many initially misconstrued as an announcement of separation from his wife, actress Anushka Sharma. The post, shared on Kohli’s X (formerly Twitter) handle, left fans reeling, with several expressing concerns about a possible divorce.
The Post That Started It All
Kohli’s message began with reflective words:
“Looking back, we’ve always been a bit different. We never fitted into any box they tried putting us in. Two misfits, who just clicked. We’ve changed over the years, but always done things our way.”
The cricketer went on to celebrate individuality, resilience, and strength through challenges, including the pandemic, before transitioning into a discussion about his fitness brand.
Fans React with Alarm
The tone and structure of the post led to widespread confusion, with many fans interpreting it as a cryptic announcement of a breakup. Comments ranged from panic to relief upon realizing it was promotional content.
- “Don’t give heart attacks,” one fan pleaded.
- Another joked, “Why is it in a format where folks announce their divorce?”
- A user humorously added, “Ad karte ho to properly likh do. Yeh kya heart attack dene ka tareeqa hai?”
Timing Adds Fuel to Speculation
The post came amidst the shocking news of legendary composer A.R. Rahman and his wife Saira Banu reportedly separating after nearly three decades of marriage, heightening fans’ sensitivity to celebrity relationship news.
Anushka Sharma’s Hiatus and Comeback
While the social media frenzy unfolded, fans also discussed Anushka Sharma’s career. The actress has been on a break from acting since Zero (2018), where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.
Her comeback project, Chakda Xpress, based on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami, is eagerly anticipated. The film will spotlight her return to the big screen and her ability to portray impactful, real-life characters.
Clarifying the Misunderstanding
The post, in reality, was a creative piece aimed at promoting Kohli’s fitness line, celebrating his and Anushka’s journey as a couple who do things differently. However, the format inadvertently led to assumptions about their relationship status, showcasing how sensitive fans are to the personal lives of their favorite celebrities.
Despite the momentary confusion, fans can rest assured that Kohli and Sharma’s bond remains strong, with both continuing to thrive in their respective careers and personal lives.
