When asked further, Mukesh said, “He is also so funny. He will dance, mimic, his comic timing is great. He is doing very well in making the country proud, he should stay where he is and not join films. He should not join films even after retiring from his cricket career. He is genuinely a smart guy, not a cunning one.” In the past, cricketers like Ajay Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Sreesanth have appeared in a few films.

Virat is married to actor Anushka Sharma and the two first met on the set of an ad commercial. They dated for a few years before tying the knot in 2018. The couple is now parents to daughter Vamika and son Akaay. Virat and Anushka have been in the UK with their children for a few months now.
