Indian cricketer Virat Kohli triggered a wave of speculation and anxiety among fans with a recent post on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Many misunderstood the message as a potential announcement of separation from his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. The post coincided with the shocking revelation of music maestro AR Rahman and Saira Banu ending their nearly three-decade-long marriage, amplifying the buzz around Kohli’s words.
Kohli’s post began with reflective lines: “Looking back, we’ve always been a bit different. We never fitted into any box they tried putting us in. Two misfits, who just clicked.” He continued, “We’ve changed over the years, but always done things our way. Some called us crazy; others didn’t get it. But honestly? We didn’t care. We were busy figuring out who we are. Then years of ups and downs, and even the pandemic couldn’t shake us. If anything, it reminded us—being different is our strength.”
However, the cricketer soon pivoted to promoting his fitness line, leaving readers puzzled. Fans flooded the comments section, interpreting the post as a separation announcement. One user wrote, “Don’t give heart attacks.” Another remarked, “Why is it in a format where folks announce their divorce?”
The confusion escalated with comments like, “Are bhai, aisa post na karo dil baith jata hai” and “Mujhe laga divorce ho gaya.” Another fan expressed frustration, “Why does it feel like a breakup post? At least mention #ad if it’s for a product!”
On the professional front, Anushka Sharma has largely stayed away from acting since her 2018 film Zero, where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, she is set to make a significant comeback with Chakda Xpress, a biographical film based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The film, which highlights the inspiring journey of the celebrated pacer, is eagerly anticipated by fans and marks a crucial chapter in Anushka’s career.
While Kohli’s cryptic post stirred unnecessary speculation, it ultimately served as a clever segue into his business endeavors, albeit at the cost of momentary confusion among his followers.
