A fleeting interaction between Bollywood star Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli has left social media abuzz. In a viral video clip, Anushka walks a few steps ahead with Virat reaching out his hand—only to have her apparently ignore the gesture. The brief, awkward interaction has prompted a deluge of reactions on social media, with fans and trolls alike breaking down the moment frame by frame.
While some of the users leaped to comic conclusions, others were speculating about potential strain in the relationship. Memes swamped Twitter and Instagram within hours, with hashtags such as #AnushkaVirat and #HandHang trending on both platforms. “She left the GOAT hanging,” joked one user, while another speculated, “Something’s brewing—this isn’t just a miss.”
But a few netizens rallied to the couple’s support, speculating that the clip could have been taken out of context. “This might be a timing problem. Let’s not jump to conclusions,” wrote one fan, asking people not to read too much into a single instance. Anushka and Virat, who are known to keep their relationship relatively under wraps, have not issued a public statement about the incident.
In spite of the online gossip, the power couple is still in the limelight as usual, with Anushka promoting her next project and Virat all set for the IPL season. Whether it was an innocent slip or something else, the internet has again proved that no celebrity moment passes without getting noticed.
