Virat Kohli stares at camera as India star spotted taking a stroll in London with wife Anushka Sharma
Virat Kohli, who announced his retirement from Test cricket in May this year, is currently living in London with his family. The move, made last year, appears to have been a conscious decision to embrace a quieter, more private lifestyle away from the constant public glare back home. As India battle through the second Test of the series against England, Kohli remains in the same city, though far removed from the action, opting for time away from the field with his wife, Anushka Sharma and their two kids. Virat Kohli was spotted by a fan with wife Anushka Sharma (Instagram) A video now doing the rounds on social media captures the couple walking down a street in London, with Kohli briefly turning toward the camera before continuing on alongside Anushka. The city's dense subcontinental population means fan encounters are frequent, and this isn't the first time such footage has emerged. Ever since their shift to London, fans have kept a keen eye on the pair during their rare public appearances, attempting to capture candid glimpses of the two during strolls or outings. Watch: Kohli's last appearance on the field was during the 2025 Indian Premier League final, when he ended an 18-year wait to lift the title on June 4. The euphoria of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL title win, however, didn't last long as a tragic stampede during the side's title-winning parade the next day resulted in multiple deaths in Bengaluru. Kohli is only active in ODIs, and is expected to return to the field in August when India host Bangladesh for a three-match series. He retired from T20Is last year after India won the T20 World Cup in Barbados. Kohli's Test retirement While Kohli continues to live in London, the Indian Test team is taking part in a five-match series in England, with the second Test currently ongoing in Birmingham. Shubman Gill, who succeeded Kohli at the No.4 spot, emulated the latter's celebration on Wednesday at the same venue after reaching his century. Kohli's decision sent shockwaves across the cricketing world, but came on the back of poor performances with the bat throughout the 2024/25 season. The batter had only one Test century to his name in 10 matches (5 home, 5 away), and endured a rough outing in Australia, where his first Test-ton was followed by an extended patch of falling to deliveries outside the off-stump.

Anupamaa: Anupamaa inspires women to chase their dreams
Rupali Ganguly-starrer Anupamaa has always remained one of Indian television's favorite and highest-rated programs, owing to its intriguing plot and emotional complexity. Throughout the years, the soap has been able to keep its fan base loyal by frequently adding new twists, major jumps, and new faces. The producers are now ready to introduce yet another critical development that is already causing quite a lot of buzz among fans. In a recently released promo that appeared on the show's official social media accounts, the lead protagonist Anupama is noticed introspecting about her past and making peace with the value of self-worth and living as oneself. In a moment of silence for contemplation, she stumbles upon a pamphlet promoting a dance competition. Encouraged, she is tempted to enter—this time, not by herself, but with her dance troupe, made up of women belonging to different age groups. Nonetheless, the group hesitates because of personal challenges and obligations. Most of them initially decline to participate, burdened by social and emotional issues. Unfazed, Anupama imparts a powerful message of empowerment, urging them to transcend their issues and recover their identities through their participation in the competition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 잦은 무릎통증,, 수술없이 / 단 1회 주사치료, 가능하다? 무릎치료 30년 - 장덕한방병원 서초본원(서울,강남) 더 알아보기 Undo The sequence not only speaks about Anupama's persistence but also conveys a message of resilience and self-emancipation. After the promo was out, audiences commented in the comments section about their opinions. Opinions have been divided—whereas some appreciated the story for its motivational theme, others opined that the show has started to lose its spark. There was one fan who said, "Rupali ma'am.. this is so good and she always brings so much strength to the character!" Another added, "It's welcome to watch her concentrating on her own life now." Some netizens complained of tiredness too, with one saying, "Perhaps it's time to close this out—it's beginning to feel a bit stretched." The series, which also features Adrija Roy as Raahi and Shivam Khajuria as Prem, has been getting praise particularly after its recent leap that sent Anupamaa into a new chapter of life in Mumbai away from Shah and Kothari family. This change of direction has struck a chord with some portion of the audience, who enjoy the independence and the transformation of the character. With Anupama's story now focusing on personal rediscovery and emotional empowerment, fans are eager to see how this chapter unfolds in the coming episodes.
