India lost the coveted ICC World Test Championship Final 2023 to Australia. While the Aussies were more deserving of the win, fans could not get over Virat Kohli getting out on a measly 49, which turned out to be a big blow to the Indian cricket team. Virat's wife Anushka was present at the stadium to cheer on her husband, but instead, became a target for trolls who said that whenever she is in the stadium, India loses.
Angry fans took to Twitter to slam the actor, with some even calling her 'panauti' (bad luck). Take a look at some tweets here...
However, fans of the actor came out in her support, saying that it is not her mistake that her husband or the Indian side failed to perform.
Going back to the couple's love story, Virat and Anushka, who got married in 2017 in a dreamy destination wedding, have gone on to become one of the power couples we have in Bollywood today.
However, for the longest time, they kept tight-lipped about their love story from their fans and the media. In an earlier conversation with former cricketer Ab De Villiers, Virat recalled being named captain for the Zimbabwe tour in 2013. His manager told me that he was going to shoot with Anushka Sharma. As soon as he heard this, he was very nervous.
Virat revealed that the first thing he told her when he saw her heels was, ‘Didn’t you get anything higher to wear?’ and she was like ‘Excuse me?’ According to him, it was very bad and he was very nervous. But then he figured out that she was a normal person and when they got talking he realized their background was so similar. He added that from there on they became friends and then gradually they started dating.
Elaborately further, he added that it was not like they started dating immediately. They spoke for a long time. Eventually, she found him to be a decent guy. And then the rest is history.
Virat and Anushka are now proud and doting parents to their daughter, Vamika.
