Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli never fail to drop major couple goals. After India won the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 29, a tearful and overwhelmed Virat was seen video calling his family of three back at home to share the moment. Following this, Anushka also took to Instagram to share a note for team India, and her home, Virat. Now, an old, unseen picture of the power couple from Anushka’s 36th birthday celebration has gone viral.
Anushka celebrated her birthday in May in Bengaluru with her husband Virat Kohli and his Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammates Glenn Maxwell and Faf Du Plessis. Inside photos from the intimate celebrations had taken over the internet back then. Now, a new picture of the couple has been shared by celebrity chef Manu Chandra who curated a special birthday menu for the actor. Taking to Instagram on Saturday after India's monumental win against South Africa, Chandra in his caption revealed that he waited almost two months to post the unseen photo as he had 'promised' himself that he would only post it if India won the T20 World Cup.
He wrote, "Had promised myself I’d only post this if we took the World Cup… voila. This man Virat Kohli is something else, and on his last T20 WC, what a damn run And Jasprit Bumrah – jeeeeez, legend! Team India what a show – bring it home. Glam, smiles and happiness courtesy Anushka Sharma." In the photo, Anushka wore a purple top with a pair of blue jeans for her intimate birthday dinner, while Virat was dressed in black.
Following team India's win against South Africa, Anushka extended her congratulations to team India and said, “Our daughter’s biggest concern was if all the players had someone to hug them after she saw them cry on TV... Yes, my darling, they were hugged by 1.5 billion people. What a phenomenal victory and what a legendary achievement!! CHAMPIONS- CONGRATULATIONS!!”
Dedicating her second post to Virat, the actor wrote, "And.... I love this man @virat.kohli. So grateful to call you my home- now go have a glass of sparkling water for me to celebrate this!”
Virat and Anushka tied the knot on December 11, 2017. The couple shares two children, daughter, Vamika and son, Akaay.
