The recent sighting of actress Avneet Kaur and cricketer Suryakumar Yadav, along with his wife Devisha Shetty, at the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain has sent social media into a frenzy. The unexpected convergence of the celebrities at the sacred site has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans, prompting many to question the nature of their connection.
Avneet Kaur, who celebrated her 24th birthday on October 13, 2025, shared images of her spiritual trip on Instagram, mentioning that she was taking blessings from Lord Shiva. She was seen in a traditional pink suit, with a garland of marigolds and roses. Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian T20I team captain, also visited the temple with his wife to seek blessings ahead of the upcoming Australia T20 2025 series. Yadav posted a video on Instagram featuring the deity and devotees, and Kaur was spotted sitting next to his wife, Devisha.
The proximity of Kaur to the couple in the video has led to a flurry of comments and questions from fans. Social media users expressed their surprise and curiosity, with some questioning whether Kaur accompanied Yadav and his wife, or if it was simply a coincidental meeting. One user wrote, "Was it Avneet in the side?" while another asked, "What is Avneet doing with them?".
To clarify the situation, sources reached out to Avneet Kaur's team, who revealed that there was no collaboration or planned meeting between Kaur and Yadav. According to her team, their presence at the temple at the same time was purely coincidental.
Suryakumar Yadav has previously visited the Mahakal Temple. In January 2023, he visited along with cricketers Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar to pray for the recovery of Rishabh Pant after his car accident. For Avneet Kaur, the visit coincided with her birthday.
Earlier in the year, Avneet Kaur made headlines when cricketer Virat Kohli liked a picture of her on Instagram. However, Kohli later clarified that it was an accidental interaction due to an algorithm error.
Avneet Kaur began her career at a young age and gained recognition after participating in "Dance India Dance Li'l Masters". She has since appeared in several television shows and films, including her Hindi film debut in "Mardaani" (2014). Most recently, Kaur starred in "Love in Vietnam," a collaboration between India and Vietnam.
The convergence of Avneet Kaur and Suryakumar Yadav at the Mahakal Temple, while sparking social media buzz, appears to be nothing more than a chance encounter during a spiritual visit. Both celebrities were there to seek blessings, with Kaur celebrating her birthday and Yadav preparing for his upcoming series.
