Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma faced intense online trolling on December 17, 2025, after a viral video from Mumbai airport appeared to show them ignoring a differently-abled fan's request for a photograph. The couple, returning from a spiritual visit to Premanand Ji Maharaj's ashram in Vrindavan, were seen walking briskly toward their vehicle amid security, as the young fan approached Kohli.
In the clip, widely shared on social media, Kohli continues without stopping or acknowledging the fan, while security personnel move the individual aside. Netizens accused the pair of insensitivity and arrogance, with many questioning the sincerity of their recent spiritual trip and asking, "What is the point of visiting Premanand Ji" if basic humility is lacking?
Critics labelled the behaviour "rude" and "shameful", especially toward a physically challenged person, with comments highlighting perceived hypocrisy given the couple's public display of devotion. Some users contrasted it with other celebrities' interactions with fans, amplifying calls of entitlement.

A section of supporters defended the couple, arguing that celebrities deserve privacy in crowded airport settings, where security protocols often limit interactions. They noted the potential chaos of stopping amid paparazzi and crowds, emphasising that one moment does not define character.
The incident occurred shortly after positive coverage of Kohli and Anushka's Vrindavan visit, where they sought blessings and listened attentively to the spiritual leader's discourse on humility and service. Videos from the ashram had initially earned praise for their grounded demeanour. Neither Kohli nor Anushka has responded to the backlash, as the debate continues to divide opinions on celebrity responsibilities versus personal boundaries in public spaces.
