Mumbai/IBNS: Ahead of his birthday, Indian skipper Virat Kohi and his wife Anushka Sharma experienced something unique when they met a village family in Bhutan during their trekking adventure and they left the couple impressed by their 'warm' gesture.

Kohli turned 31 on Tuesday.

Anushka shared images of their meeting with the family on social media.

"Today, during our 8.5 km uphill trek we stopped by a small village on a mountain to pet and feed a baby calf who was born just 4 months ago. While we did that the owner of the house asked us if we were tired and wanted to have a cup of tea ?," Anushka Sharma tweeted.

She said: "So we went into the home of this beautiful and warm family who had absolutely no idea who we were and yet they treated us with such warmth and love. We spent some time with them chatting and drinking tea and the whole time they just know us as two tired trekkers!"

The actress further said: "Whoever knows Virat and me very closely, know that both of us live for such moments of genuine, simple & pure human connection. It fills us with such joy & peace knowing that they just wanted to be kind to two random foreigners (plus our guide) without seeking anything in return."

"If this is not the true meaning of life then I don’t know what is. A memory we will cherish forever," she said.

Virat Kohli is not playing the T20 series against Bangladesh.

Kohli will once again play for the national team when India will host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series from Nov 14.

Under his captaincy, Kohli recently won Test series against West Indies and South Africa recently.
