In a serene spiritual detour amid their high-profile lives, Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, made a quiet visit to Kelly Kunj Ashram in Mathura on Tuesday morning. Arriving at the crack of dawn around 5:30 AM, the power couple spent a peaceful hour soaking in the divine atmosphere under the guidance of revered spiritual leader Prem Anand Maharaj.
Footage captured on the ashram’s YouTube channel ‘Bhajan Marg’ shows the duo seated humbly among devotees in the main hall. They listened intently to Maharaj’s profound discourses and immersed themselves in soul-stirring kirtans, a testament to their deepening quest for inner peace.
This isn’t the first time the Kohlis have sought solace at this sacred haven in Vrindavan. The couple has made several pilgrimages here before, engaging in heartfelt conversations about life’s true purpose and the path of devotion as prescribed by their guru. Their spiritual inclinations have grown notably over recent years, with visits to iconic sites like the Mahakaleshwar Temple and Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in 2023 marking significant milestones in their journey.
As Virat gears up for a packed cricket calendar, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Having retired from T20Is and focusing on Tests, Kohli is set to dazzle in the upcoming IPL for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who enter the tournament as defending champions for the first time in history. All eyes will be on him when RCB takes the field in their opener.
Come July, Kohli rejoins Team India for an ODI series in England starting July 14. Fresh off a stellar 240-run haul in three ODIs against New Zealand, expectations are sky-high for the run-machine to replicate his form. Holding the second spot in international centuries with 85 tons—trailing only Sachin Tendulkar’s 100—the maestro continues to redefine greatness on and off the field.
This ashram visit underscores a balanced life for the Kohlis, blending spiritual recharge with professional prowess, inspiring millions who admire their holistic approach.
