Virat Kohli’s spokesperson has strongly rejected claims that the former India captain received ₹5 crore to visit spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan. The spokesperson called the allegation completely false, baseless and factually incorrect. The controversy began after Dinesh Sharma, popularly known as Falahari Maharaj, made the claim publicly. Sharma serves as the president of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas and alleged that ₹5 crore was spent to bring Kohli to the ashram. However, no publicly available payment record, agreement or other evidence has emerged to support the allegation. Kohli’s team has now directly responded to the claim and dismissed it. The statement also makes clear that the cricketer did not visit the spiritual leader for financial reasons. The spokesperson stressed that the allegation does not reflect the actual circumstances behind Kohli’s visits to Premanand Maharaj.
Kohli and Anushka Have Visited the Ashram Several Times
The spokesperson said Kohli visits Premanand Maharaj because of his personal faith and respect for the spiritual leader. According to the statement, the former India captain has never visited the ashram as part of a paid arrangement. The clarification came after the ₹5 crore claim gained attention through reports and social media discussions. Kohli’s team decided to address the allegation and reject it publicly. The spokesperson described the statement made by Dinesh Sharma as inaccurate and without factual basis. The team also emphasized that Kohli’s association with Premanand Maharaj comes from personal belief rather than any commercial agreement. The controversy has therefore shifted attention toward the nature of Kohli’s visits and the source of the financial claim. So far, no publicly available document has established that Kohli accepted any payment for visiting the ashram. His spokesperson has asked people to treat the allegation as false.
Virat Kohli and his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, have visited Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan on several occasions. Their first reported meeting with the spiritual leader took place in January 2023. Since then, the couple has returned to the ashram multiple times. Their visits have attracted significant public attention because of Kohli’s popularity and the couple’s public profile. Videos and photographs from some of their meetings have also circulated widely on social media. However, Kohli’s spokesperson has maintained that these visits reflect the cricketer’s personal faith. The team has rejected any suggestion that financial compensation motivated his meetings with Premanand Maharaj. The clarification also comes amid growing online discussion around celebrities visiting spiritual leaders. Kohli has generally kept his personal beliefs away from commercial controversies, while his team has now directly addressed this particular allegation.

Team Calls Allegation False and Factually Incorrect
The ₹5 crore allegation remains unsupported by any publicly available documentary evidence. No payment record, contract or other financial document has surfaced to establish that Kohli received such an amount for visiting the ashram. The original claim came from Dinesh Sharma, who publicly alleged that the money was spent to bring the cricketer to Premanand Maharaj. Kohli’s spokesperson has categorically denied the allegation and described it as completely baseless. The statement also reinforces that the visits happened because of Kohli’s personal respect and faith. The controversy highlights how claims involving high-profile personalities can quickly spread through social media without supporting evidence. Kohli’s team has now placed its position on record and rejected the financial allegation. Unless credible evidence emerges, the ₹5 crore payment claim remains unverified and disputed by the cricketer’s representatives.
Virat Kohli’s spokesperson has urged people to rely on verified information instead of unsupported claims surrounding the cricketer. The representative clearly stated that the allegation made by Falahari Maharaj Dinesh Sharma does not reflect reality. Kohli’s team has emphasized that his visits to Premanand Maharaj stem from faith, respect and personal belief. The spokesperson also rejected the suggestion that Kohli received money for appearing at the ashram. The clarification has attempted to put an end to speculation surrounding the former captain’s spiritual visits. Kohli and Anushka Sharma have continued to maintain a private approach toward many aspects of their personal lives. Their repeated visits to the ashram have nonetheless generated considerable public interest. The latest statement from Kohli’s spokesperson now provides a direct response to the financial allegation. The team has firmly maintained that the ₹5 crore claim is false, baseless and factually incorrect.
