In a noteworthy development, cricketing maestro Virat Kohli, along with his talented actress wife Anushka Sharma, has been formally invited to the ‘Pran Pratistha’ ceremony at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The couple’s photograph holding the elegant invitation card has created a buzz across social media platforms. Scheduled for January 22 (Monday), the ceremony is expected to be a star-studded affair, with eminent personalities from various spheres marking their presence.
Notable figures such as cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni have also received formal invitations, further elevating the significance of the event. Social media was abuzz with Dhoni’s invitation photo circulating on Monday, adding to the excitement surrounding the grand occasion.
Returning to the cricketing arena after a hiatus of 14 months, Virat Kohli’s presence in Team India’s T20 lineup hints at a strategic move by the management. Speculation is rife that the formidable pairing of Kohli and Rohit Sharma may be retained for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies later this year. Despite Rohit’s ongoing run-drought in the series, Kohli’s impactful cameo of 29 off 16 in the Indore T20I on January 14 showcased a potential attacking strategy that could be pivotal in the T20 World Cup.
Away from the cricket field, Anushka Sharma, last seen as a leading actor in 2018, is gearing up for her Over-the-top (OTT) debut in the much-anticipated film ‘Chakda Xpress.’ The movie, a biopic on India’s legendary women’s cricket star Jhulan Goswami, has generated significant anticipation. However, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the release date for this noteworthy project.
As the nation eagerly awaits the ‘Pran Pratistha’ ceremony, the convergence of sports, entertainment, and cultural events continues to captivate the public imagination, making these celebrities not only sporting icons but also cultural ambassadors in their own right.
