Shocking Twist: Did Puma Owner Virat Kohli Rebrand PVMA?
Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has become the center of an unexpected controversy involving global sportswear brand PUMA. A recent incident in Hyderabad has left fans speculating whether Puma owner Virat Kohli has rebranded the company after a misspelled store banner reading “PVMA” appeared across the city.
Puma Owner Virat Kohli – What’s the Real Story?
A major mix-up at a PUMA outlet in Hyderabad led to confusion when shoppers noticed a sign that read “PVMA” instead of the well-known sports brand name. While the logo remained intact, the unusual spelling sparked wild speculations online.
Virat Kohli, who has been associated with PUMA for years, is one of the most influential faces of the brand. The cricketer signed an ₹110 crore endorsement deal with PUMA for eight years, making him a key brand ambassador in India.
Fans on social media started jokingly questioning whether Kohli had purchased PUMA and renamed it PVMA. However, there has been no official statement from either Virat Kohli or PUMA regarding any acquisition or rebranding.
Social Media Goes Wild Over ‘PVMA’ Incident
The viral PVMA sign quickly became a trending topic, leading to humorous memes, tweets, and speculations. Many fans joked that Puma owner Virat Kohli had secretly taken over the brand and was rebranding it to reflect his own identity.
Some users linked the incident to previous marketing stunts, suggesting it could be a deliberate PR move by PUMA to generate buzz. However, brand experts believe it was likely a signage error that accidentally went viral.
Kohli and Anushka’s Recent Public Appearances
While the PVMA buzz continues, Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, were recently spotted in Alibaug. The couple, who returned to India after a short trip, visited Premanand Maharaj’s ashram before heading to Mumbai.
On January 11, they were seen taking a jetty to Alibaug, reportedly for an ad shoot. The duo owns a luxury bungalow in Alibaug, which has been a retreat for them away from the media limelight.
Did Virat Kohli Really Buy Puma?
Despite the online discussions, there is no confirmation that Virat Kohli has acquired PUMA. The Hyderabad store mishap seems to be an isolated incident rather than a corporate takeover.
PUMA has built a strong reputation in the sports industry, and Kohli remains one of its biggest global ambassadors. Unless an official announcement is made, the idea of Kohli owning Puma remains pure speculation.
