Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli tie the knot in Italy
Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever, the Bollywood diva said on Twitter
(Web Desk) – Bollywood diva Anushka Sharma and Indian skipper Virat Kohli have officially tied the knot in Italy, the 29-year-old Bollywood diva confirmed the news herself on Twitter and other social networking platforms.
Anushka wrote, "Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever. We are truly blessed to share the news with you. This beautiful day will be made more special with the love and support of our family of fans & well wishers. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey."
The couple was rumoured to get hitched over the weekend in Italy during their combined vacation with family and special guests only. While Anushka’s media team had denied the reports, the pair finally ended up getting married in the private ceremony hosted at one of the prime locations of Milan.
Only close friends and family members were invited at the private affair. Rumours had been surfacing for a quite a while with consistent silence from the couple. Sources said that they had booked one of the most expensive venues. One-night stay at the hotel is approximately priced at INR 14 lac.
The Punjabi ceremony will not allow the guests to bring in their cameras. The couple will hold a reception in Mumbai on December 26.
Last year, Kohli reportedly bought a luxury, sea-view apartment in the area for 340 million rupees ($5.3 million).
The pair, dubbed "Virushka" by Indian media, are one of the highest profile couples in star-obsessed India.
Kohli is among the world s highest-paid athletes and a huge star in the cricket-mad nation, and Sharma is one of the top actresses in the country s multi-billion-dollar film industry.
They started dating in 2013 after they met during the filming of a shampoo advert and made their first public appearance a year later during a football match.
Indian newspapers have been gripped by their four-year relationship, which included a reported break-up in early 2016, and rumours of their impending nuptials started swirling recently.
They were triggered when Kohli pulled out of India s limited-overs matches against Sri Lanka and Sharma also ducked out of her busy acting schedule in December.
Then last week Sharma and her family were seen at Mumbai s international airport, apparently heading for a European destination.
Kohli has smashed numerous records throughout his illustrious career and recently became the first batsman to score six double Test centuries as a captain.
Sharma s film credits include hit movies "Sultan" and "PK". She won a national Filmfare Award for her role in "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" (As Long as I Live).
Indian TV channels billed their vows as the "wedding of the year".
