Virat Kohli’s latest Instagram post featuring wife Anushka Sharma created a stir on Saturday, but as has been the case with his intimate posts over the years, it has not crossed the 10-million mark within 24 hours. The photograph, which shows the couple in an intimate moment with Virat resting his cheek on Anushka’s forehead while they smile at the camera, was captioned simply: “Been a minute.” In the frame, Kohli wears a long denim coat while Anushka pairs a white shirt with a beige overcoat.
The image garnered over five million likes in just two hours, leading fans to believe it would quickly surge into eight figures. However, the momentum appears to have slowed, leaving the post below the 10-million milestone at the day’s end.

Anushka was photographed pushing a stroller in casual maroon athleisure wear, while Virat walked alongside in a brown sweatshirt, jeans, and a beanie.The couple remains among India’s most admired celebrity duos, with Kohli boasting one of the highest Instagram followings in the country. In May, the cricketer shared a heartfelt birthday message for Anushka, calling her his “best friend” and “guiding light,” a post that drew immense engagement from fans worldwide.Their journey together began in 2013 after meeting on a commercial shoot. Following four years of dating, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Italy in December 2017. The pair welcomed daughter Vamika in January 2021 and son Akaay in February 2024.
