Anushka and Virat Used Fake Names to Plan their Secret Wedding!

Celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot in December 2017 in a fairy tale wedding in Italy. The duo had been dating for a long time and got married in a private wedding in the presence of close family members and friends. They later hosted a grand reception in Delhi and Mumbai for their friends in Bollywood and the sports fraternity.

Virat joined the Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri for an Instagram live session and the duo talked about a range of topics.

During the live session, Virat revealed that he never formally proposed to wife Anushka as they always knew that they would get married and there was never the need to have a proposal.

He said, “Mera yeh maanna hai ki agar jab aap life khul ke jeete ho aur pyaar karte ho toh koi special day na toh Valentine’s Day kuch hota hai (I believe that when you life to the fullest and love freely, days like Valentine’s Day are unimportant). Every day can be Valentine’s Day and special. And what Anushka said is completely true, we never felt like we needed to do that, we knew that we were going to marry each other, there were no doubts about it ever. So once we knew that everything is going smooth, we were super excited to start our life together. And organically things went on.”

Talking about the marriage, Virat reveals that they used fake email Ids and names to plan their wedding as they did not want to make it an announcement in the media. They wanted it to be a private affair and thus decided to tie the knot, faraway in Italy. He stated that it was all very well managed and planned by Anushka and he may not have been able to do it as discretely.

Earlier Anushka too had told a leading magazine that they changed their names to keep the wedding arrangements a secret. “We even used fake names while talking to the caterer; I think Virat’s was Rahul.”

Further, Virat also admits that he was ‘self-centred’ before he met Anushka. He said, “I say that because when she came into my life, everything negative in me changed for good. I have always mentioned that before I met her I was very self-centred. Very focused on what I like to do, what I need to do. Having my comfort zone was a big thing.”

He added, “When you meet a person that you love, you want to do things for the other person. You have to open up. And the constant conversations we always had was -- it is not always thinking about yourself, it is about companionship. And that is something she taught me when she came into my life. I was very self-centred before that. My life completely changed because I started looking at her and what can I do for her.”

Anushka and Virat have completed three beautiful years of marriage and with many more years to come, the couple is setting major couple goals for all their fans...
