- December 19, 2025

In a world of flashing cameras and high-octane stadiums, star cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have once again chosen the path of silence and serenity. On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the couple visited the revered spiritual leader Premanand Ji Maharaj at his ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, in Vrindavan.

This marks their third visit to the spiritual guru this year, reinforcing their deep-rooted connection to the path of Bhakti (devotion).

A Soulful Dialogue: "Hum Aapke Hain" Says Anushka Sharma

The highlight of the visit was an intimate Ekantik Vartalaap (private spiritual conversation). In a viral video shared by the ashram’s official handle, Bhajan Marg, Anushka and Virat are seen sitting humbly on the floor, dressed in simple attire, with tilaks on their foreheads.

During the conversation, a visibly emotional Anushka Sharma expressed her deep faith, saying:

"Hum aapke hain Maharaj Ji, aur aap humare." (We belong to you, Maharaj Ji, and you belong to us.)

Premanand Ji Maharaj, known for his profound yet simple teachings, responded by expanding their perspective toward the Divine:

"We all belong to Shri Ji (Radha Rani). We are all under one blue canopy—the sky. We are all His children."

Key Teachings from Premanand Ji Maharaj

The Maharaj offered the couple pearls of wisdom on how to navigate their high-profile lives with inner peace:

Work as Worship: He advised them to treat their professional fields-cricket and cinema-as a form of service to God (Sewa).

The Power of Chanting: He emphasized the importance of Naam Jap (chanting the Divine name) to maintain mental stability.

Detachment from Ego: Maharaj Ji urged them to seek the "True Father" (God) over worldly comforts. He remarked that once one truly desires God, all worldly happiness automatically falls at their feet.

The Chain of Guidance: He explained that spiritual growth is like holding hands in a chain-the seeker holds the Guru’s hand, and the Guru holds the hand of the Divine.

A Year of Spiritual Milestones

For "Virushka," 2025 has been a year of significant transitions and frequent retreats to Vrindavan:

January 2025: The couple visited the ashram with their children, Vamika and Akaay, seeking blessings for the new year.

May 2025: They returned just a day after Virat Kohli announced his emotional retirement from Test cricket, seeking guidance for his next chapter.

December 2025: Their latest visit follows their return from the UK. It comes just before Virat joins the Delhi squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy starting December 24.

Choosing Peace Over Publicity

Interestingly, the visit coincided with global football icon Lionel Messi’s much-publicized tour of India. While many celebrities flocked to meet the football star, Kohli and Anushka chose the quiet lanes of Vrindavan.

Fans on social media have lauded the couple's "full-circle" journey. Many recalled Kohli’s 2016 remark where he playfully asked, "Do I look the pooja-path type?" Today, seeing him hold a digital mantra counter and sit in deep contemplation, supporters are inspired by his evolution from a flamboyant athlete to a grounded spiritual seeker.

As Virat Kohli prepares for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand in January, this spiritual retreat seems to be his way of finding the "ultimate peace" before returning to the 22 yards.
