A now-viral clip shows the Royal Challengers Bengaluru star grooving to Govinda's iconic number Akhiyon Se Goli Maare during an IPL 2025 match, and fans can't get enough.
Virat Kohli is known not only for his exceptional cricket skills but also for his infectious energy on the field and his latest moment is winning the internet. A now-viral clip shows the Royal Challengers Bengaluru star grooving to Govinda's iconic number Akhiyon Se Goli Maare during an IPL 2025 match, and fans can't get enough.
In the video, Kohli is seen mid-field, effortlessly nailing the hook step from the song with animated expressions that sent fans into a frenzy. Though the moment wasn't captured on the live broadcast, a spectator filmed it and later shared it on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, 'Wait what?! HOW did we miss this?"
As the video spread, Kohli's fans flooded the comments section with praise. 'Kohli dancing = serotonin boost for the entire fandom," wrote one user. Another joked, 'Fire the cameraman!" A fan summed up the sentiment perfectly: 'He is such an entertainer."

One diehard admirer lamented missing the moment on TV, writing, 'IPL Cameraman, you had one job and I am sorry to say you didn't do your job well. Why is this footage not in one of many broadcaster cameras? Why is this found on social media and not on the stadium cameras?"
RCB is currently facing off against Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings (PKBS) in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025, with Kohli's team choosing to bowl first. The stakes are high, and excitement is running through the veins of fans who are as invested in the fun moments as they are in the match outcome.
Meanwhile, on the personal front, Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma has been out of the public eye for a while. But fans are eagerly awaiting her return with Chakda Xpress, a biopic on cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. Produced by Anushka herself, the film has completed its shoot, though the release date is still under wraps.

The mother of a teenage girl who died in a stampede at the Bengaluru cricket stadium on June 4, during a celebration of the Indian Premier League (IPL) victory of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has filed a police complaint stating that jewellery worth Rs 1 lakh which her daughter was wearing at the time of incident was missing when her body was handed over to the family. Ashwini Shivakumar, 35, the mother of Divyanshi B S, 13, the youngest of 11 victims in the stadium stampede, on Thursday lodged a police complaint stating that her daughter's body still had a pair of gold earrings and a chain when it was taken to the Bowring Hospital on the evening of June 4. It has been stated that at the time of receiving the body of the teenager, the family had not noticed the absence of the gold ornaments, and it was only later realised. The complaint has suggested that the ornaments were stolen at the mortuary. 'There is a lot of sentimental value attached to the ornaments as a sign of what was worn by my daughter in her last moments,' the Yelahanka resident has stated while seeking an investigation. 'She wanted to see him (Virat Kohli) up close. Her wish cost her her life,' Divyanshi's mother had stated after her death. Class 9 student Divyanshi was a dancer and wanted to become a veterinarian doctor, her mother said. 'She was a very mature person. In fact, she used to inspire me on how to handle situations in life,' Shivakumar added. 'Not just Virat Kohli, she knew the achievements of Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, and even other players,' Shivakumar, who had accompanied her daughter to watch the RCB felicitation at Chinnaswamy Stadium, had said a day after the death.

Who was Ziad Rahbani? All about his life, career as tributes pour in for Lebanese composer
Ziad Rahbani, one of Lebanon's most influential composers, playwrights, and cultural voices, passed away at the age of 69. The hospital in Beirut where he was being treated confirmed that he died of a heart attack on Saturday, July 26. The eldest son of legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz and renowned musician Assi Rahbani, Ziad was a creative force whose works reshaped Lebanon's musical and theatrical landscape, especially during the country's civil war era, reported Khaleej Times. Lebanese Minister of Culture Dr Ghassan Salame, in a statement, revealed that Rahbani had recently begun to reject medical treatment for his deteriorating health. Salame, in his message on X (formerly Twitter), expressed deep sorrow over his death and wrote, 'We dreaded this day… Ziad no longer had the ability to imagine the treatment and the surgeries it would require.' Lebanese President Joseph Aoun hailed him as a 'defiant voice against injustice' and a 'true mirror for the oppressed'. Fans across Lebanon and the Arab world also mourned his passing with an X user writing that Rahbani transformed Lebanese culture, shaped their thinking, politics, and humor. Another called him 'light during hard times'. Rahbani's death marked the end of an era but his music and words will continue to resonate for generations. Born on January 1, 1956, in Antelias, Lebanon, Ziad was immersed in music from a young age. According to Khaleej Times, with encouragement from his father Assi Rahbani, Ziad began composing music when he was a teen. At 17, he wrote Sa'alouni El Nass ("People Asked Me") for his mother Fayrouz: a song which has since become a classic across the Arab world. Rahbani's talent extended far beyond composition though. His debut play Sahriyyeh (An Evening Gathering) marked the beginning of his prolific career in theater. Through his works like Nazl Al-Sourour, Bema Inno, and A Long American Film, he boldly addressed Lebanon's political and social struggles with biting wit and satire. Rahbani's symphonies were distinguished by intervention and scathing critique. With this grinding jumble of classical, jazz, and oriental, a stir was introduced into the Lebanese arts scene. The theater pieces and songs he wrote for the marginalized speak of the frustrations, hopes, and comic views of everyday people. A: Ziad Rahbani was a Lebanese composer, playwright, and political satirist known for his innovative contributions to music and theater. He was the son of legendary artists Fairuz and Assi Rahbani. A: He died of a heart attack on July 26 in Beirut at the age of 69. He had reportedly refused further medical treatment in the weeks prior. A: His notable works include the songs Sa'alouni El Nass, Kifak Inta, and Bala Wala Shi, as well as plays like Sahriyyeh, Nazl Al-Sourour, and Bema Inno. A: Ziad Rahbani played a key role in modernizing Lebanese music and theater. His sharp political commentary and unique blend of musical styles made him a beloved cultural figure across the Arab world. A: His mother is Fayrouz, the legendary Lebanese singer, and his father was Assi Rahbani, one-half of the iconic Rahbani Brothers.
