During a recent interview with Filmgyan, Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan, who recently made waves with her appearance at the Wankhede Stadium during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was asked an interesting question, what would she say if she ever unexpectedly ran into Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.
Sonal Chauhan’s thoughtful response to an unexpected encounter with Virat Kohli
Sonal response was not only thoughtful but also reflected a deep respect for the spiritual transformation that Kohli has undergone in recent years. Sonal, known for her role in Jannat and her own connection to spirituality, stated, “I would say, Jai Shri Ram and Har Har Mahadev, since he’s right now being very religious,”
Sonal’s recognition of Kohli’s spiritual growth was also evident as she went on to mention the cricketer’s increasing engagement with spiritual practices, including exploring his faith in Lord Hanuman and posting videos that showcase his devotion. She acknowledged that the change in Kohli was not just a personal decision but was likely influenced by the positive energy and support surrounding him, especially from those closest to him, including his wife, Anushka Sharma.
“The right woman in his life is definitely bringing out the spiritual side in him. When you’re surrounded by the right people, positive people, it reflects on your personality. I think she’s a calming effect in his life,” Sonal emphasized that the supportive and peaceful environment that Anushka provides has had a direct impact on Kohli’s transformation, guiding him toward a more balanced and spiritual existence.

Anushka Sharma and Virat: A love story of transformation and growth
The relationship between Anushka and Kohli is often regarded as one of mutual respect and support. Having started dating in 2013, their journey has been filled with ups and downs, including a brief period of separation in 2016. However, their bond has only strengthened over time, particularly after Virat defended Anushka on social media, marking a significant moment in their relationship. Their journey together has not only been about personal achievements in their respective careers, Anushka in the film industry and Virat in cricket, but also about their shared spiritual growth.
This shared journey has had a profound impact on Kohli, who has often spoken about how Anushka’s presence in his life has made him more grounded and focused. Their commitment to each other has also extended to their spiritual journey, which has resonated deeply with their followers and supporters. While Anushka has taken a step back from acting since her last film Zero in 2018, Virat has been shinning bright in the cricketing filed both for India and his IPL side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
