Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visited the Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan to seek blessings from Premanand Ji Maharaj.
The visit highlights the intersection of high-profile sports success and spiritual practice in India, occurring during a period of significant professional activity for Kohli.
The couple traveled to the ashram located at Varah Ghat in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh [3]. Reports on the timing of the visit vary among sources. Most outlets said the couple visited on April 20, 2026 [2, 3], while one report placed the trip on June 2, 2026 [4].
The timing of the pilgrimage is linked to the Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Some reports said the couple sought blessings amid a hectic schedule or following a loss against the Delhi Capitals [2, 3]. Other accounts connected the visit to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) winning the IPL title [1, 4].
RCB reportedly retained their IPL title for the second consecutive year [1]. In the final match, Kohli scored an unbeaten 75 runs [1].
The visit to the ashram is part of a broader trend of athletes and celebrities visiting spiritual leaders in Vrindavan for guidance and peace. The couple's appearance at the Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram drew significant attention from followers of the Maharaj.

The visit underscores the cultural significance of spiritual validation for Indian icons, where professional achievements—such as RCB's second consecutive title—are often paired with traditional acts of gratitude and humility. The contradictions in reporting dates and motives reflect the rapid, fragmented nature of celebrity news cycles in India.
