Watch: Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma spotted in London ahead of ENG vs IND 2nd Test

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were recently spotted walking casually in the streets of London, a moment that soon went viral on social media. The famous couple looked relaxed and calm for most of the brief video clip, walking side by side through a quiet street. But the end of the video showed a different attitude, for Kohli hurled a swift, annoyed look towards the one who was filming them, clearly unhappy about the breach of privacy.

Though they did not confront the person recording, Kohli’s expression spoke volumes. The video sparked debate online about the fine line between admiration and intrusion, particularly for public figures trying to enjoy personal time. It’s an ongoing problem for celebrities trying to manage their public persona and their private life.

This isn’t the first time Kohli and Anushka have been recorded in public without consent. Ever since relocating to London in 2024, the couple has aimed for a quieter, more grounded lifestyle, away from India’s intense media spotlight. Yet, even in London, they remain highly recognizable—especially among the city’s large Indian community.

Privacy Matters: A Quiet Life for Their Children

Kohli and Anushka relocated to London reportedly for a desire to provide their children, Vamika and Akaay, a more peaceful upbringing away from the pressures of celebrity life. The couple has gone out of their way to keep their children's faces private, avoiding public displays or social media exposure.

Even with all this, their popularity still trails them. Footage and images of the duo simply having dinner or walking generally turn up on the web, demonstrating the constant difficulty of keeping their privacy intact. This incident specifically tests how challenging it is for even very introverted celebrities to be able to have space outside the camera's eye.
