“They Waited Patiently”: Anushka Sharma Shares the Heart of Bengaluru’s Love for RCB
Anushka Sharma didn’t need a script, a camera crew, or red carpet glamour to touch hearts this time. All it took was her phone, a bus seat, and a city’s dream finally coming true.
As the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) paraded through the streets of Bengaluru to celebrate their first-ever IPL title in 18 years, Anushka offered fans a personal, unfiltered view — her POV from the RCB bus as it made its way to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In a video shared on her Instagram stories, she captured her husband, Virat Kohli, holding the IPL trophy with a smile that said everything. The crowds stretched endlessly, cheering from every corner. Escort cars paved the way, but nothing could overshadow the collective roar of the fans who had waited nearly two decades for this moment.
“Namma Bengaluru current scenes,” Anushka wrote in one story, capturing the euphoria that painted the city in red. In another, she added:
“These happy faces have waited for this very lovingly and patiently.”
Those words struck a chord.
This wasn't just a cricket victory. It was an emotional homecoming. A release of years of loyalty, heartbreak, memes, chants, and unshakable belief.
Anushka, usually private about her personal life, allowed herself to be the voice of millions — wives, mothers, sisters, and friends who stand behind cricketers while they carry the weight of public expectation.
She wasn't just filming a celebration — she was archiving a legacy.
Earlier that day, the RCB team was welcomed by Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar at the airport, then made a grand stop at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office at the Vidhana Soudha. But the real celebration? It was on the streets, in the smiles of fans lining up to catch just one glimpse of their heroes.
Virat Kohli, the face of RCB for 18 years, looked as content as ever. In Anushka’s lens, he wasn’t the celebrity cricketer or the fiery captain. He was a husband, a friend, a player holding a dream that once seemed distant.
With this title, Anushka and Virat's journey with RCB came full circle — not just as power couple in public life, but as storytellers of resilience and faith.
As the confetti settles and the city returns to its rhythm, Anushka’s POV will remain etched as one of the most emotional, intimate reflections of RCB's big win — a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful moments are seen not from the front row, but from the heart.
