Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli Attend Krishna Das Kirtan

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli spent Sunday evening immersed in devotional music as they attended a live kirtan by American vocalist Krishna Das in Mumbai on October 25. Videos from the gathering show the actor and cricketer sitting together, joining the chants and enjoying the music away from their usual professional commitments.

The event took place at the Dome, SVP Stadium, in Mumbai’s Worli area as part of Krishna Das’ India tour. Anushka was seen clapping and singing along to the devotional music, while Virat sat beside her, occasionally closing his eyes and joining in the chants.

The couple’s appearance offered a glimpse of a shared interest that has surfaced in their public lives over the years: devotional music and spiritual gatherings.

Anushka and Virat Join the Devotional Chants

In videos circulating on social media, Anushka appears engaged with the performance, clapping along and chanting with other attendees. Virat, dressed casually in a black T-shirt and light-coloured trousers, is seen sitting beside her and turning his attention towards the stage.

Anushka wore a pink-toned traditional outfit for the gathering. The couple appeared relaxed as they followed the music and participated in the chanting.

The videos have drawn attention primarily because the pair are rarely seen together at public events unrelated to their professional work. However, the gathering itself was a devotional music event, and their presence does not indicate any new professional announcement.

Who Is Krishna Das?

Krishna Das is an American vocalist known internationally for his performances of Hindu devotional chants, particularly kirtan. His music combines traditional chants and spiritual lyrics with musical arrangements influenced by Western styles.

Kirtan centres on singing devotional names, verses and mantras, often through a call-and-response format in which the lead singer is joined by the audience. The practice can involve instruments, repeated chants and collective singing.

Krishna Das has introduced this form of devotional music to audiences around the world through live performances and recordings. His gatherings attract listeners from different backgrounds who come together to participate in the music and chanting.

The Mumbai event was part of his India tour, bringing the singer and his musicians to a city where Anushka and Virat were also present.

This Is Not the Couple’s First Krishna Das Gathering

Anushka and Virat have attended Krishna Das’ devotional gatherings together before. In July 2026, the couple were also seen at a service at Union Chapel in London.

Their interest in spirituality has featured in public coverage over the years, including visits to religious destinations and meetings with spiritual figures. They have also been associated with the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba and have visited Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan.

These appearances provide context for their attendance at the Mumbai kirtan, although the couple have not made a new public statement about the significance of this particular visit.

A Rare Public Glimpse Into Their Life Beyond Work

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have built careers in two very different fields. Anushka is known for her work in Hindi cinema, while Virat remains one of India's leading international cricketers.

Despite their public profiles, the couple have generally kept their family life private and share selected moments with the public. Their appearance at the kirtan offered another glimpse of their interests outside film sets, cricket grounds and promotional events.

The videos show them participating in the gathering rather than addressing the media or making a formal announcement. For that reason, the event is best understood as a personal outing centred on devotional music, rather than a development in either of their professional careers.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The Mumbai kirtan offers a quieter look at Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli than their usual public appearances. Instead of a film event or sporting occasion, the couple joined a gathering built around collective singing and devotional music.

Their earlier attendance at a Krishna Das event in London suggests this was not an isolated appearance, though the couple have not publicly explained what the practice means to them personally on this occasion.

For readers, the most significant detail is the setting itself: a live devotional performance that brought together music and spiritual practice, with two high-profile attendees taking part alongside the audience. The available videos show their participation, while any deeper interpretation of their private beliefs would go beyond what the footage establishes.
