The couple also interacted with Sanjay Das, successor of Mahant Gyan Das and national president of the Sankat Mochan Sena, as well as senior priest Hemant Das, who oversaw their darshan and rituals at the temple.
Speaking to ANI, Sanjay Das opened up on the couple’s spiritual side. He said, “Kohli & Anushka have a deep love for spirituality, culture, God and Sanatana Dharma. They visited Lord Ram Lalla & then took blessings from Lord Hanuman – They also discussed spirituality & mythological things here.”
This visit to Ayodhya comes shortly after their recent visit to Vrindavan, where the couple participated in an Ekantik Vartalaap (intimate spiritual dialogue) with Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj at his ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Varah Ghat.
During that meeting, Maharaj Ji welcomed Virat and Anushka warmly, asking, “Prasanna ho?” (Are you happy?). Kohli responded with, “Ji, abhi theek hain,” (Yes, I’m okay), to which Maharaj Ji replied gently, “You should stay well.”
The Vrindavan visit marked their second pilgrimage to the ashram this year, following an earlier visit in January when the couple, along with their children Vamika and Akaay, had also sought blessings from Premanand Ji Maharaj.
Kohli is currently playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. He also announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, leaving fans grieving. On Anushka’s work front, she was last seen in a brief appearance in the 2022 film Qala.
