Anushka Sharma Opts to Ignore Virat Kohli’s Hand During Bengaluru Outing

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma made headlines once again—not for cricket or cinema, but for a moment that didn’t go unnoticed by the public eye. The couple was spotted in Bengaluru on Tuesday night, stepping out together for the first time since the controversy over Virat’s accidental like on actress Avneet Kaur’s Instagram post.

In a video shared by a Reddit user from the popular handle @r/BollyBlindsNGossip, Virat is seen stepping out of the car and politely offering his hand to Anushka. Interestingly, Anushka chose to hold onto the car door instead and walked ahead of him. While the moment was subtle, it quickly became the centre of online discussion.

Dressed in casual yet fashionable outfits, Virat sported a simple tee and trousers while Anushka looked classy in a sleek jumpsuit. Their style reflected ease and confidence, but their body language became a bigger topic. A fan on Reddit wrote, “Haath nhi pakda Anushka ne." Another added, “Lagta hai like ke baad Anushka naraaz ho gayi 😂😂.” Someone else commented with humour, “Typical husband-wife dynamics 😁😁.”

While many turned the short clip into memes or assumptions, others dismissed it as harmless. “Ready to read experts’ comments making this short clip huge,” a user remarked. Another wrote, “Poor Virat😭.”

This sighting comes just days after Virat issued a statement on Instagram to address the controversy surrounding his account. He had ‘liked’ a photo of Avneet Kaur in a green top and short skirt, which raised eyebrows. Clarifying the matter, Virat posted, “I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction… There was absolutely no intent behind it."

However, things escalated when singer Rahul Vaidya made a sarcastic comment on the situation. “Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare… It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?” Virat reportedly blocked Rahul, while the latter alleged that fans began trolling his family.

The digital drama continues, but the Bengaluru outing suggests the couple is moving on—public glare or not.
