Indian star cricketer Virat Kohli clashed with a female journalist at Melbourne airport for taking photos of his family

Melbourne : After the third Test match between India and Australia ended in a draw, India's star cricketer Virat Kohli clashed with an Australian journalist at Melbourne Airport. He was forbidding the media to take photos of the family, but a Channel-7 journalist took the photo. On this, the Australian media took the side of the journalist and said that the airport is public property.

Some Australian journalists were interviewing fast bowler Scott Boland and then they saw Kohli at the airport with his wife Anushka Sharma and children (Vamika and Akay). After this the cameraman pointed towards them and then the star batsman got angry. He objected to the cameraman taking pictures of him and his family. He had a heated argument with the female journalist due to violation of his privacy.

Virat requested the female journalist to run his pictures, but delete the pictures of his family. According to Australian law, there is no restriction on taking photos or making videos of any celebrity in a public place.

Kohli said that he needs some privacy with the children, you cannot take pictures without asking me. The female reporter said that Kohli got angry after seeing the cameras. He thought that the media was clicking his pictures with his children. This is a misunderstanding.

When Kohli was told that his children's pictures were not being taken, he cleared the misunderstanding with the media and even shook hands with the Channel 7 cameraman. Kohli likes to keep his family away from the media, especially his children. He has been seen requesting the media many times not to take pictures of the children.
