Indian cricket star Virat Kohli was involved in a confrontation with an Australian journalist at Melbourne airport on Thursday, after concerns over his family’s privacy. Kohli, who arrived with his wife Anushka Sharma and their children, became upset when a journalist from Channel 7 recorded footage of the family.
The cricketer approached the journalist, demanding to review the footage and requesting that any images or videos featuring his family be deleted. However, he allowed footage of himself to remain. Kohli’s actions were driven by a desire to protect his family’s privacy, which he values deeply.
The incident took place against the backdrop of Australian laws that permit the photographing of celebrities in public spaces, complicating the matter.
