‘Are you happy?’ What Premanand Maharaj told Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma about wealth is going viral again

Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have never really separated fame from faith. For years now, the couple has spoken openly about searching for stillness beyond stadium cheers and flashing cameras. And if there’s one place they seem to return to again and again, it’s the spiritual presence of Premanand Maharaj.


Now, an old video of the two has resurfaced online, quietly making waves again. No grand entry. No celebrity energy. Just Virat and Anushka sitting cross-legged among devotees, listening carefully as the guru speaks about devotion, humility, and what blessings actually mean.




And that’s what people are noticing most.


There’s no attempt to stand out. No VIP treatment visible. They look like any other couple seeking answers, or maybe just a moment of calm.


At one point in the video, Premanand Maharaj looks at them gently and asks, “Prasann ho?” - Are you happy?


Both nod. Soft smiles. Nothing dramatic. But somehow, that small exchange has stayed with viewers watching the clip today.

Wealth is not a blessing

Because the conversation that follows moves away from success as we usually understand it. The guru explains that wealth, fame, or popularity are not necessarily signs of divine grace. They may simply be outcomes of past karma - the result of earlier good actions rather than present spiritual growth. “When the Lord blesses someone, getting wealth is not a blessing, it is a result of good deeds. Even a sinner may have past good deeds that bring material success. But increasing fame or wealth is not considered the grace of God. The grace of God is reflected in changing the inner thinking," he added.




It’s a thought that lands differently when said to two people who have almost everything the world considers success.

According to him, true blessings show up quietly. In a calmer mind. In kindness. In awareness. In the ability to change how one thinks and reacts to life. Not in headlines or trophies.


He even speaks about suffering in an unexpected way. Hardships, he says, are not punishments. They are signals. Moments that push a person toward self-realisation, even when they feel uncomfortable or unfair.

Get closer to truth

“Apna sudhar karlo, apne jeevan ko satya mein le aao,” he advises - focus on improving yourself, bring your life closer to truth instead of chasing external validation.


And perhaps that message explains why Virat and Anushka keep returning.


The resurfaced video comes soon after their recent visit to Keli Kunj Ashram, where the couple reportedly arrived around 5:30 in the morning. No spectacle, no announcement. They spent nearly an hour in prayers, bhajans, and meditation alongside other devotees. Clips shared on the Bhajan Marg YouTube channel show them sitting quietly, almost blending into the gathering rather than leading it.


It felt personal. Grounded.


Interestingly, the visit happened just days after the birthday of their son Akaay on February 15, which made the moment feel even more intimate to fans watching from afar. Less like a public appearance, more like a family choosing gratitude over glamour.


And maybe that’s why the video resonates now.


We’re used to seeing Virat Kohli chasing centuries or Anushka Sharma commanding the screen. But here, they aren’t icons. They aren’t India’s power couple.


They’re just two people asking the same question everyone eventually asks - Am I truly happy?
