Mukesh Chhabra , a prominent casting director in Bollywood , recently shared his thoughts on why cricket superstar Virat Kohli should avoid pursuing a career in films, even after his retirement from the sport. In a candid conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia , Mukesh expressed his admiration for Virat's acting skills, highlighting how the cricketer 's vibrant personality, sense of humor, and impeccable comic timing make him a natural performer. Despite this, Mukesh firmly believes that Virat should not venture into the world of cinema.
According to Mukesh, Virat has already achieved great success and maintained his stature with grace. He appreciates Virat's ability to handle the pressures of fame while staying grounded, a trait Mukesh attributes to Virat's roots in Delhi and his Punjabi upbringing. However, Mukesh insists that Virat's true calling lies in inspiring the next generation of cricketers, not in front of the camera.
He has maintained himself on every level, competition, looks, fitness, mentally. He is a fan of Chole Bhature, he is a great guy.” Virat seems to be a "great husband and great father," Mukesh continued.
"I met him 5-6 years back at a party, today he is a role model for everybody," he remarked. According to Mukesh, a generation of cricket players has been inspired by Virat. Mukesh said, “He is also so funny.
He will dance, mimic, his comic timing is great. He is doing very well in making the country proud, he should stay where he is and not join film.
