Virushka tie the knot, tweet pix from Italy
It’s official now. Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli and his long-time Bollywood girlfriend Anushka Sharma chose a quaint Italian resort in Tuscany, faraway from the media glare, to take their wedding vows on Monday.
Only close relatives and friends witnessed the “wedding of the year” as the couple wanted their wedding to be a private affair.
“Today we have promised each other to be bound in love for ever. We are truly blessed to share the news with you. This beautiful day will be made more special with the love and support of our family of fans and wellwishers. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey,” the couple said in identical tweets while posting their wedding photographs and selfies. The ceremony was performed according to Hindu rites.
The bride looked resplendent in a pink Sabyasachi wedding lehenga, while the groom looked dapper in a colour-coordinated sherwani from the same designer.
The newly-weds will travel to South Africa where Virat will start preparing for the upcoming series. Anushka will spend the New Year’s Eve with him and return in the first week of January.

The coupe will now start inviting all industry friends and colleagues for a reception that is set to take place in Mumbai on December 26. The bash will be preceded by a reception in New Delhi for the couple’s relatives.
They will travel to South Africa where Virat will start preparing for the upcoming series and Anushka will spend New Year’s Eve with him and return in the first week of January to begin the next schedule of Anand L. Rai’s untitled film with Shah Rukh Khan in Mumbai. She will also start preparing for Sui Dhaaga, as the shooting for the same starts in February 2018 with Varun Dhawan.
Anushka will also be busy with the marketing and promotions of Pari, which is to release on February 9. Virat, on the other hand, will be playing the series, which includes three Tests, six One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, in South Africa for two months.
After their wedding, the couple will be shifting to their new residence in Worli, Mumbai in December once they return from Delhi.
A spokesperson for the couple has thanked the media on behalf of the couple saying, “We are extremely grateful to the media for their support and understanding in making this special occasion a memorable one and thank them for their continued love and support.”
