Former India captain Virat Kohli turned 36 on Tuesday, November 5. A video is going viral on social media where Kohli was saying that this was his most chilled-out birthday in all these years. The modern-day great celebrated his birth anniversary with his wife Anushka Sharma and kids daughter Vamika and son Akaay at his home.
At an HSBC event in Mumbai, host Gaurav Kapoor asked Kohli about his birthday where the star cricketer said that the birthday was for his kids.
"But yeah, probably the most chilled out birthday I have had in all these years - just with Anushka and our two kids at home. It was very relaxed and basically the birthday was for my daughter and son. It happens so when you have kids."
Virat Kohli's cheeky response on whether he is wiser having turned another year older.
"Wiser toh pata nahi, older for sure. (Not sure about wiser...)"
