Cricket legend Virat Kohli made headlines yet again as he touched down in Mumbai, India, this Thursday afternoon, immediately setting a cheerful vibe among fans and media alike. The 37-year-old batting great, fresh off international duty, was spotted in a light-hearted mood that instantly won hearts online.
As Kohli stepped out of the arrival terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, scores of supporters and paparazzi surrounded him, eager to catch even a glimpse of India’s batting stalwart. Initially focused on exiting swiftly, Virat paused and surprised everyone by engaging with those around him, asking, “Aao bhai, kaun hai photo wala?” — an endearing invitation that means “Who all wants a photo?”

Virat’s spontaneous interaction at the airport quickly made waves on social media, with fans lauding his approachable nature and genuine warmth. Unlike many sporting icons who keep interactions brief, Kohli’s banter with photographers and supporters showcased his down-to-earth persona — reinforcing why he remains one of cricket’s most beloved figures.
This isn’t the first time Kohli’s airport reunions have made headlines. In previous stints back in India, he has paused to pose for fans and even signed autographs before boarding his rides. Such gestures repeatedly underline his commitment to connecting with supporters beyond the cricket field.
