Today, as the two announced the arrival of their first baby, we take a look at how the two met and how their love story took off.

Even though Virat Kohli has always kept his relationship with Anushka a very private matter, media and fan speculations have made it seem like nothing has ever been under wraps. Virat and Anushka met during the ad shoot in 2013 for a TV commercial for a shampoo brand and it did not take too long for the sparks to fly. While Kohli, by then, had taken big strides to become one of the key components in the Indian side, Anushka too had found her feet in Bollywood.

When Virat met her for the first time, he cracked a joke. He also recalled that he was very nervous and didn’t know what else to do at that moment. Virat said, “I was just there – standing, being all nervous and jittery.” Anushka was told that Virat is not that tall and she must not wear massive heels. So she walked in wearing a pair of tiny heels and was still looking taller than him. In a bid to crack a joke and break the ice, Virat told Anushka, “Didn’t you get a higher pair of heels than this?” Anushka was naturally baffled at this bizarre question and responded with an, “excuse me?”. Looking back at this moment, he said that this joke was actually a very weird moment for him. Virat admits, “I behaved like such a fool. She was so confident, you know because she is on sets regularly and I was just like how the hell am I going to go through this!

However, after an initial glitch, the friendship between the two took off. And soon, their friendship graduated to love. While neither Virat nor Anushka shouted from the rooftops about their relationship, the two neither tried too hard to hide it. Anushka and Virat were spotted together quite often. It was reported that after Indian team’s arrival from the South Africa tour in 2014 in Mumbai, Indian cricketer headed straight to Anushka’s home. The Bollywood actress also visited Virat during India’s tour to New Zealand in 2014.

They hit a rough patch when Anushka was unfairly blamed for Virat’s poor performance during India’s international tours. Virat, in fact, came out in support of Anushka and slammed those who blamed Anushka for his or Indian team’s failure.

However, things were back on track soon as the two reconciled and sorted out whatever reported differences that were there. Virat went on to thank Anushka several times for making him a better person. And, after dating for some time they tied the knot on 11th December 2017. Today, their love seems as fresh as it was back when the two started dating and the couple is going strong with registering success in their individual careers as well.
