Virat Kohli Melbourne Airport viral video: Former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli was involved in a heated exchange with reporters at Melbourne airport. Kohli arrived with Team India and his family for IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test (4th Test), but the situation escalated when he believed the media was capturing photos and videos of his children without consent.
Reports suggest that Kohli requested the journalists to refrain from filming his family, but his pleas were ignored. This led to a tense confrontation, with videos showing Kohli visibly upset and arguing with a reporter. Though he initially walked away, Kohli briefly returned to voice his frustration before leaving the scene.
A frustrated Kohli stated, "With my kids, I need some privacy; you can’t film without asking me." "If I'm alone, it’s OK. Did you ask?," said Kohli while confronting media.

Virat Kohli and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, have consistently emphasized the importance of their children's privacy. The couple has made it clear that they will not share their children's photos publicly until the kids are old enough to make that decision themselves. Despite their efforts, incidents of unauthorized photos and videos — like the accidental revelation of their daughter Vamika's image during a match — continue to surface.
