Prior to his marriage to Bollywood superstar Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli was linked with various actresses and models, including Tamannaah Bhatia. An old video featuring Virat and Tamannaah has resurfaced, shedding new light on their interactions.
The viral video, making rounds on Twitter, presents former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli in a ‘flirtatious’ exchange with actress Tamannaah Bhatia, known for her appearance in Netflix’s Lust Stories 2. This video is, in fact, an old television advertisement that they had collaborated on.
Several years prior to his marriage to Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli was rumoured to be dating actress Tamannaah Bhatia. However, neither of them publicly confirmed this relationship. These dating speculations stemmed from the advertisement, which portrayed a flirtatious dynamic.
The nearly decade-old viral video captures Virat Kohli approaching Tamannaah Bhatia, asking for her number, engaging in conversation, and exhibiting flirtatious behaviour. This video garnered considerable attention on social media, with many users playfully tagging Anushka Sharma in their posts.
While netizens found amusement in Virat Kohli’s interactions with Tamannaah Bhatia, several social media users also praised the cricket star’s acting abilities. Some encouraged him to consider acting in Bollywood post his cricket career.
Around five years ago, Tamannaah Bhatia clarified the dating rumours with Virat Kohli. She mentioned they were merely colleagues during the advertisement shoot and had minimal interaction. In an interview, she shared, “We barely exchanged four words during the ad film. After that, I’ve never crossed paths or spoken with Virat. Nevertheless, he performed better than many of the actors we collaborate with. It was quite intimidating.”
Recently, Tamannaah Bhatia confirmed her relationship with actor Vijay Varma, who also appeared alongside her in Lust Stories 2.
