Cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma make one of the best Indian celebrity couples.
From an iconic ad shoot to a secret wedding in Italy, their love story is what dreams are made of! The duo completes 3 years of marital bliss today.
To celebrate their marriage anniversary, let’s have a sweet throwback to 2013 ‘Clear’ Shampoo Ad… coz truly, ‘Ad ne bana di jodi’!
Virat-Anushka’s sizzling chemistry was apparent as the two tangoed away and the rest is history…
But did you Virat was very nervous and jittery about sharing screen space with Anushka that he cracked a joke about her heels to undo the awkwardness?
In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Virat had revealed – “We met at commercial shoot for a shampoo. I remember my manager Bunty told me that ‘you have a brand coming up’. I was excited to be a part of it. But when I asked ‘who is it with?’, he told me ‘it’s with Anushka Sharma’. I was like ‘are you joking?’ He told me, ‘I am serious’. I thought how am I going to be in the same frame as that of a professional actor? ‘I am going to look like a fool. I have no idea how to do this.’ My manager consoled me saying, ‘It is a nice script. It will be a fun'”
“The first time I met her (Anushka Sharma), I cracked a joke immediately with her. I was nervous and that is why I cracked the joke, because I didn’t know what to do. Before meeting her, I was standing on set all jittery and nervous. I thought I was being funny. I just said something which wasn’t probably the right thing to say. She is tall as well and she was told that I am not 6 feet or plus and ‘you must not wear massive heels or anything’.”
“She walked in and was looking taller than me. I said, ‘Didn’t you get a higher pair of heels than these?’ She was like, ‘Excuse me?’, I said, ‘I am just joking!’ My joke actually became a weird moment for myself. I behaved like a fool, to be honest.”
Aww! Isn’t that just adorable?
The couple is all set to embrace parenthood and will be welcoming their first child in January 2021.
