Kohli and Anushka have been spotted in London on quite a few occasions in recent times.
Now, Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr Sriram Nene, has explained what he believes is the real reason behind their decision to leave the homeland.
In a video uploaded on YouTube, Dr Nene said that Virat and Anushka are looking to “enjoy their success” and “raise their kids normally,” away from constant public attention.
He also narrated a conversation he had with Anushka, where she spoke about the challenges of living in India as celebrities.
“I’ll tell you something, and this is what you learn, they all put their pants on one leg at a time. We had a conversation with Anushka one day, and it was very interesting. They were thinking about moving to London because they can’t enjoy their success (here). And we appreciate what they go through, because anything they do attracts attention. We almost become isolated,” Dr Nene said.
“I get along with everyone; I’m bindaas. But even there, it becomes challenging. There’s always a selfie moment. Not in a bad way, but there comes a time when it becomes intrusive, when you’re at dinner or lunch, and you have to be polite about it. For my wife, it becomes an issue. But (Anushka and Virat) are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally,” he added.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have been spotted in London on quite a few occasions in recent times, and some close acquaintances have even confirmed that the couple has already moved to UK with their two children.
However, neither Kohli nor Anushka has cleared the air regarding their speculated move to London.
As far as Kohli is concerned, he is currently in the midst of the IPL 2025 season. The RCB stalwart is showing brilliant form as he has scored 393 runs in 9 innings and is presently the second-highest run scorer in the tournament.
