Hyderabad: Celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli travelled to Vrindavan with their children, Vamika and Akaay, to visit Premanand Maharaj. During their visit, the two interacted with the Maharaj, welcoming him with folded hands and sitting on the floor in devotion. Pictures and videos of their spiritual outing have gone viral on the internet.
In one of the videos, Anushka can be seen discussing her spiritual journey with the Maharaj. She stated that she listens to his speeches and expressed her desire for "Prembhakti" (divine love). She said, "Pichli baar jab hum aaye the toh mann mein kuch sawaal the, mujhe laga ke poochungi lekin jo bhi baitha tha wahan pe unn sabne kuch na kuch vaisa sawaal kar liya that (Last time when we came, we had some questions in our mind. I thought I would ask them but whoever was sitting there, they all had asked similar questions)."
