Based on serving as the captain of the Indian cricket team to script a win against South Africa in the T20 World Cup finals and then bidding adieu to the shortest form of the game, Virat Kohli has left for London to join his wife Anushka Sharma and children.
The couple owes a lot to London, and this has been made even deeper by the birth of the second child, Akaay, in London. Ever since their little one arrived, Kohli and Anushka have been officially living in London for about 2 months until Kohli had to get back to India. Anushka later joined him, but she rarely appeared in public life, especially around their children. She respected their children’s privacy.
A Closer Look at Kohli’s Journey to London
After leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup, Kohli’s presence in London marks a period of relaxation and family time. The couple has been seen enjoying quiet moments away from the public gaze, often spotted in local parks or dining at exclusive venues in the city.
Kohli, known for his intense dedication to cricket, has taken this time post-retirement to unwind and reconnect with his family. His decision to spend significant time in London underscores the couple’s preference for privacy and a serene environment conducive to raising their young children.
Speculations and Rumors Surrounding Their Stay
Rumors regarding the proposal of the couple’s existence reached a new level when, during the meeting with Indian PM Narendra Modi on July 4th, Kohli was seen shopping at Mumbai airport the next day to fly to London. On the other hand, Anushka and their children are still living in London, meaning rumors of a relocation are still rife.
Even in the recently conducted interview, Kohli said he wants a low-profile life once he decides to hang his boots and added,
Once I am done, then I will go away and not be seen by anyone. For now, I want to give my all to cricket.
Since the private traditional wedding held in December 2017 in Italy, the duo of Kohli and Anushka Sharma have expertly balanced career and personal achievements, both being prominent figures in their line of duty. The couple got blessed with a girl child, Vamika, in January 2021, and a boy child, Akaay, in February 2024.
Because they often visit London and stay there for a long time, there are rumors that they plan on moving to the city and starting a serene family life away from the media hype. Moreover, the couple have attempted to go to other parts of the world where they would go unrecognized. However, the due to the subcontinent contingency spread across the globe, someone is always bound to spot the two celebrities.
Impact on Career and Public Life
For Kohli, transitioning from the intense scrutiny of cricket to a more private life represents a significant shift. His focus remains on spending quality time with his family while contemplating future endeavors outside the realm of professional sports. Post-retirement from T20, he still is an integral part of the team’s Test and ODI side.
Anushka Sharma, a successful actress and entrepreneur in her own right, has supported Kohli’s career while managing her commitments. Together, they have navigated the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance in the spotlight, often using their platform to advocate for privacy and respect for their boundaries.
