Speculation is swirling around the potential permanent move of former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma to London.
The couple, along with their children Vamika and Akaay, have sparked rumors of settling in the UK capital following recent developments.
Virat Kohli, who recently led India to victory in the T20 World Cup finals against South Africa, has announced his retirement from T20 cricket. His decision to step back from the shorter format has heightened speculation about his plans to relocate abroad. Following the World Cup, Kohli was seen departing for London to reunite with Anushka and their children.
Their connection to London deepened with the birth of their second child, Akaay, in the city. Anushka and Virat spent considerable time in London before and after Akaay’s birth, residing there for about two months before Kohli returned to India for cricket commitments. Anushka later joined him but kept a low profile, requesting privacy for their children.
Speculation about their move intensified after Kohli met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 4 and was later spotted at Mumbai airport, reportedly en route to London. Meanwhile, Anushka and the children have remained in London, further fueling rumors.
In a recent interview with a sports channel, Kohli expressed his desire for a peaceful life away from the public eye post-retirement. “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,” Kohli said, hinting at his intention to retreat from the spotlight eventually.
Their extended stays in London, including choosing the city for Akaay’s birth, have led to increasing speculation about their plans to make London their permanent residence. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who wed in a private ceremony in Italy in December 2017, have navigated a high-profile life, balancing their professional careers with their personal milestones.
