Virat Kohli may have patched up with girlfriend Anushka Sharma, as per reports, but repeated questions from the media on their relationship certainly upset him.
Asked about his reunion with the Bollywood actress, at the launch of ‘Virat’s FanBox’ in Mumbai on Monday, India’s Test captain shot back: "That’s for no one else to know. I wouldn’t like to comment on it."
To a similar question from a female journalist, he retorted: "What about your personal life."
‘Virat’s FanBox’ is a kit that provides his fans direct access to him, both online and in real life.
Priced at Rs 16,999, it has a Moto G Turbo Virat Kohli edition, with the batting sensation’s emblem, an app, a miniature bat and a welcome letter signed by him.
"This unique initiative will give my fans an opportunity to interact with me at a personal level, the content in it being special and exclusive," Kohli said.
"It will help my fans know the brand Virat and get an insight into my personality and character," he added.
Kohli, however, dodged questions on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s appointment as ‘goodwill ambassador’ of India's contingent for the Rio Olympics.
"I wouldn’t like to speak on something that I don’t have a complete idea about. I am not part of the decision-making process here and it is not correct to make a comment," he said.
Kohli said that he is eagerly awaiting the biopic on his childhood hero Sachin Tendulkar.
"Everyone knows who I idolised as a kid. He will always remain my idol because of who I came into cricket. I am very eagerly looking forward to the biopic on Sachin Tendulkar. I have idolised him. That will be something which will be very interesting (to watch)," said the 27-year-old Kohli.
Kohli also said that he is keen to watch the other two biopics based on the life of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Mohammed Azharuddin respectively.
