A viral claim alleging that Virat Kohli was paid ₹5 crore to visit Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan has sparked a fresh controversy online.
The allegation has emerged amid a wider row surrounding Premanand Maharaj’s ashram following the death of his disciple Rasik Dulari Sharan.
But did Virat Kohli actually receive ₹5 crore for visiting the spiritual leader? Based on the evidence currently available, the answer remains unverified.

What Is The ₹5 Crore Claim About Virat Kohli?
The ₹5 crore allegation was made by Falahari Maharaj, president of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas, in a letter concerning Premanand Maharaj’s ashram.
According to reports, Falahari Maharaj alleged that people connected with a private company in Rajasthan had offered or spent ₹5 crore to bring Virat Kohli to the ashram as part of an effort to increase Premanand Maharaj’s popularity.
However, there is an important distinction between the allegation and a confirmed payment.
There is currently no independently verified evidence that Virat Kohli personally received ₹5 crore for visiting Premanand Maharaj.
Did Virat Kohli Actually Visit Premanand Maharaj?
Yes. This part of the story is well documented.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have visited Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan several times. Their first reported meeting with the spiritual leader took place in January 2023. The couple subsequently returned to the ashram in 2025 and were again seen meeting Premanand Maharaj.
