Love is...coming out: Virat Kohli addresses Anushka as 'my love'

While there are still those who continue to keep the love of their life in the dark " in old Bollywood style " the younger lot could not care less. They are in love, and they don't see why they should hide it.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's special friendship' became apparent when he blew air kisses in her direction during his match as she cheered from the stands. Now Indian cricket's poster boy Virat has gone on Twitter and outed his pyaar for actress Anushka Sharma by calling her my love' on the social network.

The online public display of affection came after Virat managed to catch the screening of Anushka's NH10 recently, when he got time off from World Cup duties. He headed to the nearest theatre and watched the film and proceeded to tell his girlfriend what he thought of the film on the micro-blogging site. The exact words were: "Just watched #NH10 and I am blown away. What a brilliant film and specially an outstanding performance by my love @AnushkaSharma. SO PROUD:)"

While the actress initially denied being in a relationship with the cricketer, it was probably early days and they were both unsure about their feelings for each other. But that has changed in the last few months. One can see that they are more secure about their relationship and comfortable with accepting it for what it is. Very recently, Anushka spoke about being in a relationship with Virat, accepting that the two were dating.

Virat's tweet, in what appears to be a return gesture, was finally the acknowledgement long awaited by their fans.
