Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma were recently spotted attending a spiritual Kirtan by the renowned Krishna Das at Nesco, Mumbai, on Sunday, October 20. The couple, who often make public appearances together, took time out from their busy schedules to immerse themselves in the divine atmosphere, sitting in the front row among other devotees.

This break for Kohli came after India faced a tough defeat in the first Test of the ongoing series against New Zealand.
