’s ashram on 13 May 2025 quickly went viral on social media, but what really got the internet talking was an old clip of Kohli’s cheeky remark, “Do I look the pooja-path types?”This once-funny moment from years ago has now taken on a new life, as fans compare Kohli’s past image to his recent spiritual journey.A peaceful visit after a big goodbyeThe visit to Vrindavan came right after Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, a major moment in his 14-year-long international red-ball career. Instead of a grand celebration or media appearance, Kohli and Anushka chose to spend quiet time at Shri Radha Kunj Ashram with the famous spiritual leader, Premanand Ji Maharaj. Dressed in plain, modest clothing and wearing face masks, the couple arrived in a local taxi, keeping things low-key and simple. ANI posted a video of their arrival, showing their calm and humble attitude during the visit.

Spiritual side of the power coupleOver the years, both Kohli and Anushka have shown more interest in spiritual practices. This wasn’t their first visit to Vrindavan or to Premanand Ji Maharaj. In fact, the couple has previously made trips to well-known religious places like the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain and Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram in Uttarakhand. While they’ve never spoken publicly at length about their spiritual beliefs, their regular visits suggest a strong and growing connection with spirituality.That iconic line resurfacesAs the Vrindavan video went viral, so did a light-hearted clip from a 2016 press conference during the T20 World Cup. Back then, a reporter had asked Kohli if he did “pooja-paath” (prayers) to keep calm during tense moments on the field. Kohli had smiled and replied, “Do I look the pooja-path types?” The room had burst into laughter. But in 2025, the line has found a new context, and fans are finding it both funny, and are gushing over Kohli’s spiritual side and making many Instagram reels about his full circle moment.Throughout this journey, Anushka Sharma has been a strong and steady presence by Kohli’s side. Anushka looked calm and peaceful during the Vrindavan trip.
