From the perspective of the environment, the cricketer added that it was a significant moment for him to see the world from a different point of view. Virat also explained how he opened himself to new changes as he was in love with Anushka, and everything turned out quite brilliantly for him. He said:

"I would say a life-changing moment would be when I met Anushka, because I saw a different side of life. It wasn't similar to my environment; it was a different perspective, a different point of view, so that's what is life-changing. Because when you fall in love, you start processing those changes within you as well, because you have to move together. So, to do that, you have to open yourself up; you need to accept a lot of things, and that for me was life-changing."
