A small video has unleashed a barrage of trolls with fans scrutinising awkward exchange
Dubai: When it comes to Bollywood-meets-cricket couples, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are often seen as the gold standard.
But even power couples have their moments—especially when social media has its magnifying glass out. A recent video of the couple has set the internet buzzing, with eagle-eyed fans pointing out a seemingly awkward exchange: Anushka casually ignoring Virat’s attempt to hold her hand in public.
Yes, you read that right. Captain Cool reached out, and Mrs. Sharma-Kohli just... didn’t reciprocate. A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment? Maybe. But not for the internet’s army of professional overthinkers. Within hours, “Anushka ignoring Virat” was trending, and theories began flying faster than Kohli’s cover drives.
Fueling the drama? Reports that Virat had recently liked a few photos of actress and social media star Avneet Kaur. Now, while liking pictures isn’t exactly a crime, in the court of public opinion (read: Instagram trolls), it’s enough to spark a domestic cold war.
The timeline is juicy: Virat allegedly double-taps, Anushka dodges the hand, and suddenly, he’s in the doghouse—complete with Twitter memes casting him as a man regretting everything.
Of course, this could all be innocent. Maybe she didn’t see his hand. Maybe her hands were full. Maybe the internet needs a collective nap. But hey, couples fight, they make up, and life goes on—even if your every move is dissected by a million strangers with Wi-Fi.
Still, the optics aren’t helping. For now, it looks like Virat and Anushka are on a sticky wicket.
