Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, one of India’s most admired power couples, often make headlines for their professional milestones. But beyond cricket grounds and film sets, the two have embraced a spiritual journey, seeking calm and balance amidst their busy lives. From their visit to Swami Dayananda Ashram in Rishikesh to their darshan at Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram in Vrindavan, the couple has been frequently spotted at spiritual retreats across India.
Jaya Kishori on Virat and Anushka ’s search for peace
Reacting to their spiritual path, motivational and spiritual speaker Jaya Kishori told Instant Bollywood, “In total, a successful person is the one who goes on a spiritual path. Only then will he be able to bring peace in his success, his family, and everything. They already had everything — work, money, house — but they were missing that peace, which took them towards spirituality. They still have everything, but now they also have peace.”She added that while people often assume celebrities live perfect lives, even they go through emotional struggles. “Sometimes they feel emotionally unstable, then they try to come closer to God. Sometimes in work, you see, they are playing very well, sometimes they are not. Don’t think they have a perfect life, only they can tell you how their life is. But they are setting a very good example that when a materially successful person shows you that they also need spirituality for peace and satisfaction, it’s a big lesson for the world.”
Praising the balance they maintain, she continued, “They didn’t leave everything — not their home, not their work, not their family. They balanced it all, and that balance comes from spirituality. This is what we call a complete life.”
Life after Virat’s retirement
After Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket in May 2025, he and Anushka have been prioritizing family time and their spiritual well-being over public appearances. The couple, currently spending time in London with their children, Vamika and Akaay, continues to draw attention for choosing inner peace over the spotlight.
