Virat Kohli was recently in a controversy involving alleged filming of his children at the Melbourne Airport.
December 23, 2024: Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has found himself in controversy after an altercation with Australian journalist Nat Yoannidis at Melbourne Airport. The heated exchange occurred when Kohli noticed the journalist filming his children without his consent. Despite previously issuing warnings to Indian media about respecting his children’s privacy, Kohli discovered that Australian media regulations allow public filming of celebrities, including their families.
Upon arrival in Melbourne with his family, Kohli was visibly upset when he saw Yoannidis capturing footage of his children. He confronted her, asking her to delete the videos and photos of his children but allowed her to keep images featuring only him. Kohli was also seen shaking hands with other journalists after receiving assurance that they were not filming his children.
