The couple shared warm hugs and goodbyes with their friends outside the restaurant while waiting for their car. This outing was a rare moment for the pair since they became parents for the second time earlier this year. Anushka gave birth to their son, Akaay, in London, and they also have a three-year-old daughter, Vamika.
Anushka has been a constant source of support, cheering for Virat during the IPL season, which saw RCB securing a place in the playoffs before bowing out.
Shah Rukh Khan‘s Kolkata Knight Riders eventually clinched the IPL title against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai.
With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, Kohli’s presence in Mumbai ahead of joining his teammates in New York indicates a brief yet essential breather before the high-pressure tournament.
As Kohli prepares to join the Indian squad, his brief respite in Mumbai serves as a necessary recharge before the T20 World Cup. The
