Celebrity power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were recently spotted enjoying a quiet dinner date in Bengaluru on Tuesday evening.
However, what should have been a routine public appearance quickly became a talking point online, as eagle-eyed fans noticed a subtle moment that sparked widespread speculation. This marked the duo’s first outing together since Virat Kohli addressed the much-discussed Avneet Kaur controversy, adding further intrigue to their appearance.
Anushka and Virat are seen exiting their opulent vehicle outside a renowned, high-end restaurant in the city in viral videos that are making the rounds on social media and Reddit.
Fans quickly noticed an unexpected gesture—or rather, the absence of one—despite the fact that both seemed composed and at ease. Virat held out his hand to help Anushka out of the car, but she seemed to ignore him and hold the door herself. Then, as the couple entered the restaurant, she moved a little ahead of him.
This seemingly minor moment quickly snowballed online, fuelling speculation about tension between the two. Social media was abuzz with comments ranging from concerned to humorous.
One user posted, "If this couple breaks up, I am never getting married," while another commented, "Another alimony loading." A third remarked, "Virat Bhai Aap London hi raho," hinting at the growing internet narrative.
Others, however, offered more balanced perspectives. One user noted, "Aur lagwao nazar," referencing the couple's constant presence in the public eye. Another added, "I mean husband and wives can have arguments and still have a healthy relationship."
On May 1st, Anushka Sharma celebrated her 37th birthday. "Best friend, my life partner, my safe space, my best half, my everything," Virat wrote alongside a heartfelt photo of the two to commemorate the occasion. The couple got married in 2017 and has two kids, Akaay and Vanika.
Many fans are hopeful that this is just a harmless interaction being over-analyzed, as frequently happens with celebrities under constant public scrutiny, even though the viral moment has sparked conversation.
