Cricket superstar Virat Kohli and his Bollywood actress wife Anushka Sharma were recently spotted at the Mumbai airport, leaving the city with their two children, Vamika and Akay. The couple, who had been enjoying some quality time in Mumbai, were seen departing on Saturday night, generating significant buzz among fans and media alike.
In a series of videos circulating online, Kohli can be seen politely but firmly requesting the paparazzi to refrain from taking pictures of his wife and children. He appeared visibly concerned about their privacy, even as he graciously agreed to pose for solo photos. This encounter highlights a growing trend among celebrities seeking to protect their families from the often-intrusive lens of the media.
The couple had been staying in Mumbai for a while, celebrating Virat Kohli’s birthday before their departure. After reaching the airport, Kohli was seen diligently unloading luggage before making his way towards his family. As the paparazzi persisted with requests for photos, Kohli urged them to wait until he secured his belongings. He then positioned himself for pictures, but kept a watchful eye on the photographers to ensure they did not attempt to capture any images of Anushka or the children.
In one of the videos, Kohli can be heard clearly stating, “Udhar camera nahi karne ka (Don’t turn your cameras towards Anushka and the kids).” His words were a clear and concise message about the importance of respecting family privacy and personal boundaries.
This incident comes amidst persistent rumors of the Kohli family’s potential move to the United Kingdom. Over the past few months, they have been frequently flying to London, sparking speculation about their long-term plans. Reports from Hindustan Times suggest that Virat Kohli travelled to London in December last year to spend time with family and that Anushka Sharma flew to the UK to meet her family after Team India’s victory parade earlier this year. The couple was reportedly in London during the birth of their second child, Akay.
While the rumors remain unconfirmed, the recent airport encounter suggests that the Kohli family is prioritizing their privacy and well-being, particularly when it comes to their children. Their request for paparazzi to respect their boundaries reflects a growing awareness among celebrities about the impact of media attention on their families’ lives, and serves as a powerful reminder that even in the public eye, certain lines should not be crossed.
