Actor Farhan Akhtar is married to Shibani Dandekar, a well-known television personality, singer, and cricket presenter. She gained recognition for her confidence, intelligence, and engaging presence on-screen.
As a popular IPL presenter in the early 2010s, Shibani captivated audiences with her insightful interviews with cricketers and her deep understanding of the game.
Recently, an old tweet from 2011 resurfaced, showcasing a playful exchange between Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli and Shibani Dandekar. As social media users often dig up past interactions of celebrities, Kohli’s response to Shibani’s tweet from the 2011 IPL season has now gone viral. The resurfaced tweet shows Kohli replying to Shibani with a casual yet intriguing message:
“Hello stranger. Hope ur good.”
At the time, Kohli was a rising star in Indian cricket, known for his aggressive batting and charismatic personality. Fans have now reacted humorously to this tweet, playfully labeling young Kohli as a ‘flirt’ during his bachelor days.
Shibani replied to Vira’s tweet and said, Hello Darling I’m doing great! you ready to shed some Kohli magic today.
While some social media users found the tweet amusing, others appreciated how time has changed, with Kohli now being happily married to Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma.
Shibani Dandekar, in 2011, was making a mark in the IPL hosting scene alongside established presenters like Archana Vijaya, Samir Kochar, and Gaurav Kapoor. She worked hard to understand the intricacies of the game and build a rapport with players and fans alike.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is currently focused on leading Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB started their campaign on a strong note, securing a victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens. Their next high-voltage clash is set against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 28, Friday, in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
