Old video of Virat Kohli tricking Tamannaah Bhatia into giving her phone number in an ad goes viral; fans REACT |

Cricketer Virat Kohli is a sports legend, but his connection with the entertainment industry goes beyond the cricket field. In 2013, while shooting a shampoo commercial, Virat met his future wife, actress Anushka Sharma. However, just a year before that, he starred in a fun ad with another Bollywood beauty—Tamannaah Bhatia. The ad, now resurfacing on social media, is quickly going viral, with fans loving the fresh chemistry between Tamannaah and King Kohli.
The Ad: A Clever Trick to Get Tamannaah’s Number
The one-minute ad kicks off with Virat Kohli walking into a restaurant to join his friends. Across the room, Tamannaah Bhatia is seen sitting alone, engrossed in a phone call. Suddenly, a man approaches her, attempting to flirt, only to get a well-deserved slap from Tamannaah.Virat Kohli then casually remarks, “Mere paas toh ladki patane ke do do ideas hain.” His friends tease him, but Virat confidently demonstrates one of his tricks. He hides his phone on a chair and pretends to have lost it. When Tamannaah asks if he needs help, Virat cleverly asks her to call his phone, getting her number in the process. With a charming smile, he then says, “Iss mein aapka number hai. Want me to delete it?” Tamannaah smiles back and responds, “It’s okay.”
Rumors and Fans’ Reactions
Interestingly, after the release of this commercial, rumors started circulating about a possible link-up between Virat Kohli and Tamannaah. Now, after watching the ad again, many fans are jokingly calling for Virat Kohli to make his Bollywood acting debut, impressed by his natural on-screen charm.

While one user wrote, ‘Kohli has better screen presence than most nepos…alternate career waiting post retirement’, another one added, ‘What if kohli actually takes all those acting praises seriously and debuts in bollywood??? 😂😂😂 Would be quite funny but i would rather pay and watch him than few current actors’. A user also commented, ‘Kohli shoukd have atleast made a cameo in any movie’.
