The video was shared with the caption, “Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma leave for London.” Reacting to the post, a fan wrote, “I think they are leaving for the Cannes festival, not London.” Another person wrote, “No they are leaving for WTC.” The ICC Men’s World Test Championship (WTC) will take place in London from June 7-11. A comment read, “What a beautiful jodi (couple).” An Instagram user said, “Couple goals.”

Anushka will be present at the Cannes Film Festival 2023 to honour women in cinema. She will be joined by Kate Winslet. Recently, Anushka and Virat also met the France ambassador to India Emmanuel Lenin at the French Embassy in New Delhi.

The ambassador captioned his social media post with a hint of discussing Anushka’s trip to the festival which will take place in the fashion capital of the world, France. Apart from Anushka, Sara Ali Khan, and Mrunal Thakur also made their debut at the film festival. Aishwarya Rai also dazzled on the red carpet.

Fans will see Anushka next in her upcoming sports biopic film Chakda Xpress. Directed by Prosit Roy, the film is a sports biopic based on the life of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. It will stream exclusively on Netflix.
