[Watch] "No, I am not in Money Heist" - Virat Kohli takes helium balloon test to debunk hilarious rumors
From him owning a private jet to being part of the popular TV series 'Money Heist', Virat Kohli debunked some hilarious rumors with a squeaky voice on Wednesday.
In a promotional video on his Instagram channel, the Indian Test captain was asked to answer questions after inhaling helium from a balloon.
Kohli, doing the experiment for the first time, burst out laughing many times after hearing his voice in a high pitch. At one point, he even said he had forgotten how he originally talks.
You can watch the clip here:
The questions ranged from the basic ones like, "What does Virat Kohli do?" to cheeky ones like "What is Virat Kohli's customer care number?" For the latter, Kohli jokingly replied that people can contact him by dialing 181818.
The skipper denied owning a private jet and playing the role of 'Professor' in Money Heist. However, he did admit that he looks similar to the Spanish actor Álvaro Morte.
