Being one of the greatest batsmen of the modern cricket, Indian captain Virat Kohli is one of the most popular and loved cricketers among the fans across the world.
While it is known to everyone how Kohli’s batting on the cricket pitch drives his fans crazy as well as making him achieve the milestones, the dashing right-hander feels he can do a good job when it comes to acting as well.

During an Instagram Live session with Indian football team captain, Sunil Chhetri on Sunday, May 17, Kohli admitted that he would definitely act in own biopic only if his actress wife Anushka Sharma will be his co-star, but made it clear that acting is an art and he isn’t an artist, only a professional cricketer.
Kohli told Chhetri: “With Anushka, I will definitely do the biopic myself. But let me clear up this misunderstanding that I can act. I can play football also, will you let me play in ISL?”
He continued, “I can, however, act in my own biopic because I can essay my own role quite well. I hope. If anyone else plays the role better than me then bilkul hi nitthala aadmi hu main (I’d be quite useless). That’s what am trying to say. People have this misunderstanding that I can act. But when you have done so many commercials, in that you just need to go from point A to point B and anyone can learn to do that. Acting is an art. I am not an artiste. I am a professional cricketer.”

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old credited wife Anushka for making him the person he is now and realize him the importance of companionship. He added: “I wasn't this person always. I truly believe that everyone has a giving and compassionate side to them but there is always an individual that comes in your life who brings it out. For me, meeting Anushka was that moment when I started to realize that this is not all about me. Life is to look at another person and live like that.”
Indian cricket’s poster boy further explained, “Then you become confident of who you are and you become confident of giving or being compassionate. She made me realize that the position that I am in, it is so important for me to try and change things around me for the better... If someone comes to me with a problem and if I am in a position to do it, I will always do it.”
Kohli signed off by saying, “Before I met her, I was very self-centred, very focused on things I wanted to do, and maintain my comfort zone. The comfort zone was a big thing. When you meet a person that you love, you want to do things for the other person and you have to open up. The constant conversations that we always had were that it is not always about thinking for yourself, it is about companionship. That is something that she taught me when she came into my life.”
