A wild viral claim alleging that Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli charged ₹5 Crore to visit renowned spiritual guru Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj in Vrindavan has been thoroughly debunked. The controversy gained momentum after Dinesh Sharma (Falahari Maharaj), head of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas, sent a formal letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The petition alleged that private commercial interests and a builder syndicate funded Kohli's high-profile ashram visit to generate publicity. However, Virat Kohli's representatives swiftly shut down the rumour mill, releasing an official clarification calling the allegations fabricated, baseless, and defamatory.

Kohli and Anushka Sharma have maintained a well-documented spiritual connection with Premanand Maharaj since early 2023, visiting solely out of reverence and personal belief. With zero evidentiary basis or financial trail supporting the accusation, the claims remain entirely unsubstantiated. Fact-checking sensational rumours and keeping the digital space grounded in verified reality remains a core commitment for the VYGR news desk.
