Old video of Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia goes viral; cricketer ‘flirts’ with Lust Stories 2 actress in ad
Virat Kohli, former captain of India, has a deep connection to the film industry. His wife is the Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, and his agent Bunty Sajdeh is good friends with Salman Khan.
When it comes to sponsorships and television commercials, Kohli is one of the most bankable sports players. 'Lust Stories 2' actress Tamannah Bhatia and Kohli were speculated to be dating before Kohli wed Anushka Sharma.
In reality, Tamannah Bhatia and Kohli had previously both participated in a TV commercial. After this advertisement featuring Kohli flirting with Tamannah Bhatia went on air, the suspicions of the two dating intensified.
In the nearly ten-year-old viral video, Virat Kohli is seen approaching Tamannaah Bhatia, asking for her phone number, chatting with her, and flirting with the actress.
Many people commented on the video on social media, and many internet users also playfully tagged Anushka Sharma in it. Rashmika Mandhana and Tamannah Bhatia both gave performances during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 opening ceremony on March 31 of this year.
Before the opening ceremony, Tamannah Bhatia was questioned about her favourite cricketers, and she named Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batsman Virat Kohli and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni.
"Since the beginning of my profession, I have adored performing on stage. Additionally, it is quite exciting to play for the IPL, which has experienced a lot since the COVID-19. Before the IPL 2023 opening ceremony, Tamannah Bhatia said, "I will be performing with Arijit (Singh) and Rashmika (Mandhana), and I am very looking forward to it.
"Movies and cricket are incredibly dear to us; they're kind of how we were raised. Everyone loves Dhoni, and Virat and I are no different," Tamannah stated.
Both the three-match T20I series against Ireland this month and the five-match T20I series against the West Indies have been postponed for Kohli. The first week of September will mark his next appearance in the Asia Cup 2023, where India will play Pakistan.
