The London Incident: What Actually Happened?

An Indian Reddit user said they just saw Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma near their apartment in London. Anushka confronted them rudely, saying they were taking a picture, but they were not. They were on a call with AirPods in and showed their gallery to prove it. They wanted to respect the couple’s privacy, knowing celebrities can be careful about it.

The user said it would have been nice to get a sorry or a smile, since the accusation was wrong. But Anushka did not respond politely and seemed upset.

In hindsight, the user thought about calling her out, but they did not expect it and tried to be calm. They said it is important to share such stories so people stop worshipping celebrities blindly.

“Entitled and Hot-Headed” – Fan Slams the Celebrity Couple

The Reddit user described Anushka Sharma as “entitled and hot-headed” for confronting them without reason. They said the couple acted rude even after seeing proof that no photo was taken. The fan felt the behavior was unnecessary and wanted people to understand that celebrity worship does not excuse bad manners.

This is not the first time a similar incident has happened. A few days ago, another Reddit user shared that their cousin went to London a few months back and saw Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma at a cafe while having coffee. He is a big fan of Virat but knows they are very private, so he was hesitant to approach them. He asked the manager for permission to take a picture and get an autograph.

Anushka shouted at the manager for “forcing them” and invading their privacy. Virat tried to calm her down and said he would handle the situation. The manager told the cousin that he should not talk to them and should leave after taking the picture.

The cousin said he would leave their table after taking the picture, but the manager insisted they wanted him to leave the cafe immediately. The cousin tried to explain that he would mind his own business, but the manager kept saying that sir and ma’am would not be comfortable.

The cousin got upset and decided not to take a picture or get an autograph. About 10 minutes later, Virat and Anushka left the cafe.

“Approach at Your Own Risk” – The Fan’s Viral Warning

Fans are sharing warnings after multiple encounters with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma in London. After sharing his experience, the Reddit user said Anushka confronted them rudely, accusing them of taking a photo they did not take. Another story described a cousin visiting a cafe where the couple was, but Anushka shouted at the manager when asked for permission to take a picture.

Fans say the couple reacts strongly even when fans follow the rules. Many advise respecting their privacy, noting that celebrity worship does not give anyone the right to accuse or confront others unfairly.

Social Media Divided: Privacy vs. Politeness

The recent London incidents involving Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have sparked a heated debate on social media. Some fans argue that celebrities have the right to privacy and can set boundaries, even if it means reacting strictly. Others feel the couple should handle fans politely, especially when no rules are broken. Many believe that while respecting privacy is important, showing rudeness or shouting at fans crosses the line. Netizens are divided, with some defending the couple’s behaviour as understandable and others criticising it as entitled. The debate highlights the tension between celebrity privacy and public politeness.

Notably, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma do not live in India full-time, despite owning a few homes in the country. The couple, along with their children, has moved to London and visits India mainly for work. This development came to light last December when Kohli's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, confirmed their relocation to the UK.

The main reason for their move was that the couple wanted to raise their children away from glitz and glamour. Both Kohli and Anushka have kept their children out of the public eye and often hide them from paparazzi. However, neither Kohli nor Anushka has officially confirmed their move to London.

Meanwhile, the star Indian batter has begun preparations for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2026, with videos of the former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain training in the nets going viral on social media.

The right-handed batter has scored 8,661 runs in 267 matches and 259 innings in IPL history. Kohli has an average of 39.54 and a strike rate of 132.85, including eight centuries and 63 half-centuries.

RCB will enter IPL 2026 as the defending champions. The Rajat Patidar-led franchise defeated Punjab Kings in the 2025 final by six runs in Ahmedabad.
