amil actress Radhika Sarathkumar had a memorable interaction with cricket star Virat Kohli during their flight from London to Chennai earlier this month.
The actress, who was pleasantly surprised to see Kohli on the same flight, shared her experience while speaking to ANI at the IIFA 2024 event.
Recalling the moment, Radhika said, "At first, I thought it was a lookalike because I couldn't believe he was on the flight to Chennai. So, I asked him, 'I'm sure I'm talking to Virat, right?' and he confirmed it. Then I asked, 'Why are you going to Chennai?' He mentioned there was a test match, and I told him, 'We are all great fans of you, and we really love you.'"
