Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma Kicked Out Of New Zealand Cafe: Jemimah Rodrigues Shares Untold Story of a Four-Hour Chat
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are among India’s most admired celebrity couples, yet they have chosen to live a quieter, more private life away from the constant media glare. Their shift to London in 2024 marked a new chapter, one where they could raise their children peacefully without the chaos of paparazzi and fan frenzy in India. Despite their low-key lifestyle, a recent revelation by Indian cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues has once again placed the star couple in the spotlight. Jemimah’s heartwarming story of how Virat and Anushka were once kicked out of a New Zealand cafe has gone viral, offering fans a rare glimpse into the couple’s off-field persona.
In a candid conversation with Mashable India, Jemimah shared how she and fellow cricketer Smriti Mandhana wanted to meet Virat Kohli to seek some advice about their batting. Both the men’s and women’s cricket teams happened to be staying at the same hotel in New Zealand, making the meeting possible. Jemimah recalled that their casual cricket chat soon turned into a deep, personal conversation. Anushka Sharma also joined in, and what began as a simple discussion about batting evolved into an engaging four-hour dialogue filled with insights, laughter, and mutual admiration.
Virat Kohli, widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of his generation, had encouraging words for Jemimah and Smriti. He told them, “You both have the power to change women’s cricket, and I can see that happening.” Such inspiring words coming from a legend left a lasting impression on the young cricketers. The conversation flowed so naturally that Jemimah described it as feeling like “a few long-lost friends who met and spoke.”
However, the evening took a humorous turn. Their chat stretched on for hours, and the café staff eventually had to intervene. With a smile, Jemimah revealed that they were literally kicked out of the New Zealand cafe because they had overstayed. Despite the abrupt ending, the memory became one of Jemimah’s most cherished encounters, showcasing Virat and Anushka’s warmth and down-to-earth nature.
While such stories highlight their relatability, there’s also another side to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s life—one shaped by fame’s overwhelming demands. In a separate conversation, Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr. Sriram Nene, shed light on why the couple moved to London. Speaking on his podcast, Dr. Nene revealed that Anushka had once confided in him about the challenges of living in India under constant public scrutiny. “They were thinking about moving to London because they can’t enjoy their success here. Anything they do attracts attention. We almost become isolated,” he said.
Dr. Nene also shared his own experiences with the pressures of fame and empathized with Virat and Anushka’s choice. He explained how even casual outings could become stressful due to fans constantly requesting selfies, often during private family moments. “Not in a bad way, but there comes a time when it becomes intrusive, when you’re at dinner or lunch, and you have to be polite about it. For my wife, it becomes an issue. But (Anushka and Virat) are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally,” he added.
By relocating to London in 2024, Virat and Anushka prioritized their family’s privacy and their children’s upbringing over fame’s glittering but intrusive aspects. While they continue to visit India for work commitments—be it cricket, films, or brand endorsements—their base in London allows them to live a more balanced life. The move has enabled them to carve out a sense of normalcy in an otherwise extraordinary existence.

The café anecdote shared by Jemimah Rodrigues, combined with Dr. Nene’s revelations, paints a fuller picture of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s lives. They may be global icons, but at their core, they seek the same joys as everyone else—meaningful conversations, quiet family dinners, and the chance to live without constant eyes on them. Perhaps, that is why stories like being kicked out of a New Zealand cafe resonate so deeply. They remind fans that beyond the stardom, Virat and Anushka are just two people navigating life, love, and parenthood in their own authentic way.
