From NH10 to Sydney- Anushka arrives to keep beau company

Sydney: India vice-captain Virat Kohli's lady love, Anushka Sharma, has arrived to keep her beau company in the lead-up to the World Cup semi-final against Australia.

The big clash is at the SCG on Thursday.

Anushka hasn't come disguised or in a burqa, for the Board has, from the end of the group stage, allowed the players to have their dear ones with them.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav's wives came before Anushka, while Shikhar's better half, Ayesha, actually spends most of her time in Melbourne.

Kohli has been pretty open about his relationship with Anushka, one of the better actors in Bollywood, and has even said "we are not hiding anything."

That comment was made in the latter half of November, before India departed for Australia.

While Kohli's stock has risen during the four months in Australia and New Zealand, no less successful is Anushka, who has turned in a stunning performance in NH10.

Around 8.30pm on Monday, Kohli and Anushka left the InterContinental for dinner at an Indian restaurant.

They were accompanied by Mohit Sharma, a member of the support staff and the security officer assigned to the team.

The restaurant is pretty close to the luxury hotel, yet a taxi was called to avoid any hungama on the streets.

It's not unusual for fans to hang around near the team hotel and make a dash towards whoever is visible.

When the taxi came, Neeraj Sharma, the commissionaire at the bell desk, congratulated Anushka for an "excellent performance" in NH10.

The graceful Anushka warmly accepted the compliment.

"I also remarked that Madam's performance was worthy of the World Cup and she responded 'yes'... I've seen NH10 on the DVD, for that's how we see the latest Hindi films in Australia," Sharma told The Telegraph.

Last week, Kohli himself tweeted on Anushka's performance in NH10. Not just that, he called her "my love."

That, indeed, is not hiding anything.
