Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma along with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli spotted at Bandra, in Mumbai. Recently, the couple has been blessed with a baby girl.
They manned up, stonewalled, attacked in spurts, stole stealthy runs, extracted errors from the Australians, relished their sagging shoulders as the sun stooped to a close. Thus, Indian batsmen saw off the most fourth innings overs by the team since 1979, staved off all the Aussies threw at them and saved the Test. Pride and self-belief played their part, but was a smidgen of that resolve meant as a fabulous welcome note for the baby girl Virat and Anushka first called their own that very afternoon? We’ll never know and, more than these tiny, wrinkly pair of feet, we can’t show more of her. Anushka recently spoke about the values she and Virat share—respect for people, love for all—and promised not to bring up a brat. We’ll hold them to her word 15 years hence. For now, we offer our congratulations.
The little black dress, or its handmaiden, the little black swimsuit, has at various points been honoured by the gracious form of Anushka Sharma. But priorities, in tune with sudden turns in life’s course, change dramatically. So here we have Anushka, happily gloating in a mumsy black number, showing off the outward swell of the precious kernel in her that grows every day. Does pregnancy lead people to wax pop spiritual? Her captions (check them on Instagram) to this adorable picture would suggest so!
First, we owe an apology for not having a photo that shows the adorable (we’re sure of it) mien of this Labrador. His masters, however, have used him as a prop—they’re getting to be experts at this, what with enough time on their hands to hone marketing skills—for their snapshot of a moment’s prosaic romance. Anushka is totally into her cuddlesome best friend. Virat is so into her. We dig only her shirt.
When you’re married to a cricketer, you’re married to cricket. Anushka seems to have accepted that, and demonstrates it with a resounding ‘yea’ to a biopic on Jhulan Goswami—a playing legend and the top wicket-taker in ODIs. But wouldn’t a taller actor have best imitated Jhulan’s loping bowling stride? Icon and impersonator—in character with distinctive coiffure—play it up at the Eden Gardens.

Here is a rhetorical question about fashion: Should anyone in the prime of their animal attraction ever wear puffy, shiny shoulders that narrow down, quite unaccountably, into tight sleeves, and still be allowed to claim to be a top setter of syles? Glaringly and coolly, Anoushka Sharma dares the very thing at an awards that celebrates ‘glamour and style’, picks up a trophy, and gets complimented by her fellow winner Alia (who wasn’t going to take any chance with this black and pink gown) for her ‘glamorous’ look. That would do it for all you who were likening it to a fencer’s white garb without the head gear, wouldn’t it? Admit it boys, good fashion is often what the fashionable wear on a whim.

Of all the high-flying duos that hog the limelight, they’re the handsomest. They were one among several at Amitabh Bachchan’s grand Diwali bash, but we have eyes only for Virat and Anushka. If he is loath to doff his all-whites, she was a figure from a Rajput miniature—resplendent in a gorgeously printed lehnga-blouse, the light that glittered the most that night.

Taking to Twitter, Kohli posted some beautiful photographs with his spouse. He captioned it as, "Happy Diwali to everyone. May the Festival of Lights light up your lives and bring more love and peace to all."
India's power couple, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, once again took to social media to showcase their cute Diwali photographs, sending their fans into 'gaga' mode.

The pastel-coloured bikini, the sun pouring mildly on the glassily unspoilt beach, the sheer prelapsarian happiness oozing out of a radiant Anushka could have made this a ’60s holiday snap. This is, of course, Antigua, and she is accompanying her cricketer husband and his team in the Caribbean. Some day, we will join her there.

Kohli took the brunette (sob) and we found a blonde body-double. Well? Okay, Julia Michaels shares Anushka bhabi’s looks but Ramu should hold his horses. Psst, she is an American Grammy-nominated singer. And we don’t mean she is single when we say she released her single, Anxiety.
As if the twin triumphs in Australia were not enough, Virat has achieved that rare triple ICC honour: top player, plus tops in Tests and ODIs. Well, the man has earned his holiday, At the Rod Laver arena in Melbourne, he and Anushka met up with the emperor, Roger Federer. Fedex, a keen follower of cricket and a Sachin fan, seems willing enough.
Anushka Sharma wisely kept away from the rambunctious—and video-viral—celebrations at the Indian team hotel, but was at hand for an informal, impromptu victory lap with Virat after India’s historic series triumph in Australia. For sheer glamour, this comes on top, but for pure joy, we still prefer our Audi ride.

When we saw Virat’s impromptu dance steps standing at first slip in the Adelaide Test, we were surpised that he managed such a cool move. Ah, but twas the first anniversary of Virat and Anushka—the handsomest high-profile couple that hove into our crowded ken in recent times. If Virat isn’t the impulsive whirlwind we knew, much of it, says he, is due to her influence—a widening of horizon, a deepening of wisdom.

Just educating a fellow citizen not to litter the streets, one may say in defence. But a star couple stopping the litterer, chiding him and taking a video for the purpose of shaming on social media? ‘Virushka’, as the paparazzi christened them months ago, probably didn’t realise that tweets and posts can bounce back.
Once they thought there was a danger that Virat Kohli might let his on-field intensity dominate him. No such fear now. Though RCB loses match after match, the skipper is as cool as ever. This Instagram photo, showing him feeding Anushka a piece of her birthday cake, proves the point.

‘My one and only’, captioned Virat Kohli, in Instagram, dripping uncharacteristic mushiness. Soon after, this picture made celebrity watchers by their millions speculate if Anushka was in South Africa too. No she wasn’t, answered the actress, declaring she too missed her ‘love’. That sun-kissed photo, she clarified, was taken in Manhattan, New York, in 2017.

Once a couple starts to appear in commercials together, it’s usually taken to be a sign of serious romantic intent. Naturally, with Virat and Anushka so mature about their relationship, unwilling to hoodwink salivating celebrity writers, rumours have been rife and repetitive. It’s that ‘wedding’ thing, and it is supposed to take place in Milan. Small matter—Anushka’s manager knows nothing!

The promo of Anushka’s clothing brand emphasised her design sense and deep involvement throughout the making of the 160 pieces. Yet, reports suggest many of them are a lift from Chinese websites. The horror of it! But this embroidered jacket, paired with a denim shirt, are surely not lifts? Anyone, nothing less than a protest from Beijing will satisfy us.

Why is the sparkling Anushka Sharma sporting a dishevelled, death-haunted look? Well, she is not exactly from this world, , and she’s out to give you the creeps. That’s her role in Pari, about a girl possessed by spirits. After Phillauri, this is her second dive into the netherworld.

Rumours of a rough patch in his relationship (or a nightmarish IPL season) hasn’t cooled the ardour of Virat Kohli, who arrived, hands locked, with Anushka Sharma at Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge’s engagement. We hope his spare hairstyle and bare ankles bring him luck in the Champions Trophy in England.

If you were in any doubt about the status of Virat and Anushka’s relationship, this photo should lay it at rest. But wasn’t the cosy date in Rajkot on November 5—Virat’s birthday—hemmed in from all sides by glaring securitymen, a protective police team and harassed but never-say-die lensmen? Could they concentrate on the grub, or take off their shades for a meaningful look? Hard to say, but we hope the sockless Indian captain scores with gusto in the Test series versus England.

Virat Kohli may be spattering Instagram with his emo antics (a ‘heartbroken’ selfie? really?) but Anushka is silent and so far only tweeted about her intense routine for Sultan. Now that’s classy!

Swing, But Not A Miss Dress like the way Ranbir does—jacket, tie and trainers—for giving the pony-tailed Anushka, in polka-dotted slacks and short-cropped top, a swing that would make her whoop with joy. The occasion was the now-familiar release of a trailer—of Bombay Velvet in this case, pairing the pictured duo for the first time.

What Does He Think? They would not add grist to the gossip mill; they will keep this ‘pure’; they will maintain dignity in the face of audacious doofuses with cameras and chavs armed with bluntness.... And with the diktat aginst GFs, Virat and Anushka won’t meet at Australia. Undeterred gossipers shake their heads.
Do The Tattoo Talk While her beau is contemplating a drastic attack to counter ferocious missiles by Mitchell Johnson, Anushka Sharma is left behind to deal with the vicious turn delivered over at her end by all. The topic? The by-now-hackneyed relationship with Virat Kohli. Her personal life is out of bounds for a prying media, our lady of the stripes fumed.
