When Virat Kohli got Anushka Sharma’s favourite puffs packed in Bengaluru without anyone recognising him

But that’s when he “actually got nervous.”

“I had no cash. I gave the guy my credit card. I thought this was it. Now, I am gone. I actually had the security’s number ready to be dialled. But the guy was so busy with work that he did not care whose credit card it was. He swiped it. I signed it. I gave him the receipt. He stamped it. I was like, he didn’t even read what’s written on it. I was like, wow! This is amazing! This was completely unexpected. No one actually recognised me at all,” added Kohli.

While Anushka has often spoken about how little gestures that mean the world to her, this again is a testament to true, caring and affectionate love, shared Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, healer and life coach.

Love often finds its most genuine expression in the smallest acts, and when someone chooses to step out of their comfort zone and do something special for their partner, it speaks volumes.

For celebrities, even a quick errand can become a media event, but when Virat Kohli went out of his way to pick up Anushka Sharma’s favourite puffs without being recognised, it wasn’t just about a snack; it was about thoughtfulness, said Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals, Parel, Mumbai.

“In a world where grand gestures often steal attention, these quiet, intentional moments reveal the depth of a relationship. Small gestures matter and can bring happiness to the partner’s face. It shows your efforts and how much you care for your partner. This certainly helps strengthen the bond and relationships, ” said Dr Bangar.

For someone constantly under the public eye, such acts are a heartfelt reminder that behind the fame are real emotions, genuine care, and a willingness to protect and nurture personal bonds, which are commendable.
