Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli opened up about his life-changing moment on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) podcast ahead of the upcoming IPL 2023, starting March 31.
Kohli said that meeting his wife Anushka Sharma was a life-changing moment for him, as he changed a lot after dating the Bollywood diva. On the RCB podcast, the dashing cricketer also talked about his father’s death and its impact on his life.
In a video shared by the RCB on Twitter, Virat Kohli said: “When my father passed away, that was more like, my outlook towards things changed, but my life didn’t change as such. Life around was same as before. The incident gave me a lot of resilience, a lot of focus on what I want to do in life, and a lot of motivation to realise my dream, but it wasn’t life-changing.”
The former Indian skipper continued, “I was still playing cricket, I was still doing what I had to do, and the environment was quite similar. I would say a life-changing moment would be when I met Anushka, because I saw a different side of life. It wasn’t similar to my environment; it was a different perspective, a different point of view, so that’s what is life-changing.”
Kohli signed off by saying, “Because when you fall in love, you start processing those changes within you as well, because you have to move together. So, to do that, you have to open yourself up; you need to accept a lot of things, and that for me was life-changing.”
