Radhika Sarathkumar recalls her flying conversation with Virat Kohli at IIFA 2024

Abu Dhabi (UAE), September 27 (ANI): Tamil actress Radhika Sarathkumar had a memorable interaction with cricket star Virat Kohli during her flight from London to Chennai earlier this month.

The actress, who was pleasantly surprised to see Kohli on the same flight, shared her experience while speaking to ANI at the IIFA 2024 event.

Recalling the moment, Radhika said, “At first, I thought he was a look-alike because I couldn’t believe he was on the flight to Chennai. So I asked him, ‘I’m sure I’m talking to Virat, right?’ and he confirmed it. So I asked, ‘Why are you going to Chennai?’ He mentioned that there would be a test match and I told him, ‘We are all big fans of you and we really love you.'” The new edition of the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) is taking place in the Arab city from 27th to 29th of September.
