The photo has gained widespread attention, with netizens asserting that the woman in question is Anushka Sharma. One user confidently stated, “She is Anushka Sharma. I’m damn sure now.” However, a cricket-related page called Cric Point on X contradicted these claims by sharing information that Anushka and Virat were unable to attend the Shree Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha due to a family emergency.
