26 October 2026 (Navroze Bureau) Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma have caught the attention of fans after making a rare public appearance together at American devotional singer Krishna Das’ live kirtan in Mumbai. Videos from the spiritual gathering, held on Sunday evening, October 25, have been widely shared on social media, with viewers reacting to the couple’s participation in devotional singing.
In the viral clips, Virat and Anushka can be seen sitting beside each other, enjoying the devotional atmosphere and gently swaying to the music. Anushka is seen clapping and singing along with the chants, while Virat briefly looks towards the camera before turning his attention back to the performance. The couple also appeared to join in the chanting of sacred names, including “Hari Naam” and “Hare Ram”, as the audience participated in the musical gathering.
Their appearance has drawn attention partly because the couple have kept a relatively low public profile in recent years. While both remain among India’s most recognisable public figures, they generally keep their family life away from the spotlight.
Virat and Anushka Enjoy Devotional Music
The videos circulating online show the couple appearing relaxed as Krishna Das performs devotional music. Anushka was reportedly dressed in a purple traditional outfit, while Virat wore a black T-shirt and trousers.
Rather than interacting with the cameras, the two appeared focused on the performance, occasionally singing along and moving gently to the rhythm. Their participation quickly became a talking point among fans, many of whom shared clips and photographs across social media platforms.
Several viewers appreciated the couple’s appearance at a devotional gathering, while others commented on their shared interest in spirituality. Their presence also brought renewed attention to Krishna Das and his distinctive musical style, which combines traditional Indian devotional chants with Western musical influences.
The event was part of Krishna Das’ India tour and attracted attention from music lovers as well as followers of devotional music.
Who Is Krishna Das?
Krishna Das is an American vocalist widely known for performing kirtan, a devotional practice centred on singing sacred names and spiritual verses. His performances blend traditional Indian chants with contemporary musical arrangements, making the genre accessible to audiences around the world.
He travelled to India in 1970 and became a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba, a spiritual figure associated with several ashrams, including Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand. Krishna Das has frequently spoken about the influence of his spiritual journey on his music.
His concerts often encourage audience participation, with attendees singing, clapping and repeating devotional chants together. The Mumbai event offered a similar atmosphere, with the audience joining in as the singer performed.
Kirtan is not simply a musical performance; for many participants, it is also a form of meditation and devotion. Repeating sacred names and singing together can create a shared spiritual experience for those attending.
Not the First Time Virat and Anushka Have Attended a Kirtan
The Mumbai appearance was not the first time Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have attended a Krishna Das devotional gathering together. The couple also attended a similar event at Union Chapel in London in July 2026.
They have previously attracted attention for their interest in spiritual places and religious gatherings. The couple have been associated publicly with the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba and have visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan on multiple occasions.
Their interest in spirituality has periodically become a topic of discussion among fans, particularly when photographs or videos from their visits emerge online. However, the couple generally do not share extensive details about their personal spiritual practices.
Their latest appearance in Mumbai has once again highlighted this aspect of their public lives, offering fans a glimpse of them outside their professional commitments in cricket and cinema.
Social Media Reacts as Videos Spread
Short clips from the kirtan have been circulating widely online, prompting reactions from fans who were pleased to see the couple enjoying a devotional evening together. Many comments focused on their participation in the chanting and the relaxed atmosphere captured in the videos.
The appearance also generated interest because public sightings of the couple together have become less frequent as they maintain a more private lifestyle. Their presence at the event consequently attracted attention beyond the regular audience for Krishna Das’ music.
While social media reactions varied, the clips primarily drew attention to the couple’s shared participation in the devotional gathering. As with other viral celebrity moments, online responses reflect individual viewers’ opinions rather than a formal measure of public sentiment.
A Spiritual Evening Away From the Limelight
Virat Kohli remains one of India’s leading international cricketers, while Anushka Sharma is a prominent actor and film producer. Despite their demanding careers, the couple have occasionally attended spiritual events together in India and abroad.
Their appearance at Krishna Das’ Mumbai kirtan provided a rare public glimpse into an activity they share away from their professional lives. The viral videos have also renewed interest in Krishna Das’ devotional performances and the growing visibility of kirtan gatherings among diverse audiences.
For now, it is the couple’s participation in the chanting, their relaxed presence and the devotional atmosphere that have captured fans’ attention online.
