Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first crossed paths on the set of a TV commercial shoot where they were cast together. Despite not sparking immediate romance, the couple stayed connected after the shoot, frequently spotted together at various events.
Their relationship was anything but secretive. In 2014, Anushka Sharma openly stated they were "not hiding anything" and were simply two regular people in a relationship.
Despite their hectic schedules, Virat and Anushka made time for each other during work tours, ensuring they celebrated special occasions together.
Anushka Sharma became a familiar face in the stands, cheering passionately for Virat during his matches. However, their public displays of affection weren't always welcomed, with Anushka sometimes facing criticism during Virat's less successful performances.
Rumors of a split emerged in 2016 when Virat and Anushka reportedly unfollowed each other on Instagram and minimized public appearances, sparking speculation about their relationship status.
Despite challenges, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's bond only grew stronger. They were frequently seen enjoying each other's company and became known for their affectionate gestures, such as Virat's memorable 'flying' kiss to Anushka from the cricket ground.
In 2017, the couple surprised everyone with a magical wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. Away from the paparazzi, Virat and Anushka exchanged vows surrounded by close family and friends, marking the beginning of their happily-ever-after.
On January 11, 2021, Virat and Anushka welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika. Their joy multiplied when their second child, Akaay, was born on February 15.
