On November 17, Netflix India tweeted that its dream of getting a picture with Virat Kohli had finally come true after the captain of the India national team posted an image of himself watching a Netflix series. Sharing a still from his "quarantine diaries", the cricketer who is currently in Australia was clad in his "un-ironed T-shirt" and was comfortably watching a good series on Netflix snuggled on his couch. Kohli arrived in Australia for India's upcoming bilateral series, starting from November 27. Taking note of the Indian skipper's tweet who is currently on a 14-day mandatory quarantine, Netflix India wrote excitedly, "That's us on the computer screen!" Netflix further revealed that it had been hoping to share the screen with the cricket fame for quite some time now. 

Meanwhile, as Kohli provided a glimpse of his isolation routine amidst adhering to the stay at home protocol, fans speculated if he was binge-watching his wife actress Anushka Sharma's production titled Bulbbul starring Tripti Dimri, Paoli Dam, Avinash Tiwary, and Rahul Bose. The horror film produced by the Bollywood actress is one of the Netflix originals from among the nine films to be produced by Anushka for Netflix India. The plot of the period drama revolves around superstition, hauntings, and mysterious deaths. However, husband Virat Kohli's laptop featured the main home page of Netflix, not making clear which series he was planning to indulge in. He was seen smiling as he posed for the camera confidently, with his laptop.
