For a while now, there’s been a lot of buzz about Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli moving to London. The couple has been spotted several times in the UK, and people close to them have quietly hinted that the move is indeed happening. Now, Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr Sriram Nene, has opened up about it in a way that feels very real.
Dr Sriram Nene recalls Anushka Sharma’s candid confession
During a chat with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Dr Nene shared his admiration for Virat, calling him “just a decent human being” they’ve met multiple times. He also revealed an interesting conversation he had with Anushka Sharma. “They were thinking about moving to London because they can’t enjoy their success (here),” he said, adding that it’s easy to forget how much constant public attention can affect celebrities. “Anything they do attracts attention. We almost become isolated.”

Dr Nene also talked about how tricky fame can be. While he considers himself outgoing and easygoing, he admitted there are times when constant selfie requests, even though they come from a good place, start to feel intrusive. “But Anushka and Virat are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally,” he said warmly.
Meanwhile, Virat’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma also gave a little more confirmation to these reports in an earlier interview. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, he mentioned that Virat is planning to shift to London with Anushka and their two children. Right now, the cricketer is making the most of his family time whenever he’s not busy with matches.
Virat had made a revelation at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Innovation lab, ahead of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025. He said, “I might not have another Australia tour in me, so I am at peace with whatever happened in the past.” When asked about his retirement plans, he said, “I actually don’t know what I will be doing post retirement, recently I asked a teammate the same question, and got the same reply. Yeah but may be a lot of travelling.”
Anushka and Virat’s love story started years ago, leading to their beautiful wedding in Italy in 2017. They are now parents to Vamika, born in 2021, and Akaay, who arrived earlier in 2024. While Virat continues to shine on the cricket field, Anushka has stepped back a little from films, with her last lead role being in Zero back in 2018.
