[Watch] Not Tom & Jerry or Scooby-Doo, Virat Kohli opens up on his favorite animated character
Virat Kohli is an aggressive character on the field but is also a fun-loving person off the ground. The former Indian captain recently revealed his favorite animated character. Interestingly, it’s not Tom & Jerry or Scooby-Doo, which are loved by many 80s and 90s kids. The cricketer revealed that "Simpoo Singh" is his favorite cartoon character.
Sharing a video on YouTube, IPL 2023’s official TV broadcaster ‘Star Sports’ captioned:
“We got to know Virat’s favorite animated character!”
As per the data available, Simpoo Singh is an animated character with the same television program name. He was the mascot of Channel V India. He wore an orange turban on his head, a green jacket inside a white shirt with a purple work tie, and black pants and shoes. His skin tone was white.
Simpoo is the first cartoon character to support PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). The show reportedly first aired in 2011.
For the uninitiated, Virat Kohli has been a vegetarian since 2018. The 34-year-old was named PETA Person of the Year in 2019.
It’s worth mentioning that Kohli loves spending quality time with his daughter Vamika. He has an elder brother and sister and is often spotted with his nieces and nephews. Check out the pictures below:
