Celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli met for the first time on the sets of a shampoo commercial in 2013. The duo hit it off instantly and started dating. After a couple of years of dating, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony.
The power couple marks their sixth wedding anniversary today. During a 2019 interview with Filmfare, the actress was asked about how they were able to keep the wedding private. She explained that their low-key wedding was just a natural reflection of who they are. Anushka said, “We wanted to keep it genuine. We didn’t want it to be adulterated and touched by anything, which would remind us that we’re celebrities.”
Further, she added, “We were with our parents and our siblings, who’ve sacrificed so much for us, our closest friends, who’ve supported us through our worst. If we’d allowed it to become public in any way, we would be reminded of our public standing. We didn’t want that. We just wanted to be like two people in love. We never counted for who we were publicly when we fell in love. Our beings fell in love. We wanted to feel that purity at our wedding. That’s why we kept it so close to our hearts and kept it away from anything, which would make us think about anything other than us and the people who were part of this. It was surreal.”
