Anushka Sharma breaks stereotypes and husband Virat Kohli smashes patriarchy's face with their wedding
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot recently in Tuscany, Italy.
A match made in heaven and a wedding so dream. Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli single handedly managed to convince the singles and the dating couple in the entire nation to get married and the ones who were married wanted a rerun of their own wedding like that of Virushka's. The way he looks at her, the way he never leaves his hand and the way she is always up and close to him through thick and thin are goals at every level. They've not only beaten the odds but have also broken staunch stereotypes with their wedding.
Got married at the peak of her career
Anushka Sharma is one of the top actresses we have in the country today, who has been a part of both character driven (NH10, Phillauri, Band Baaja Baraat) and mainstream cinema (Sultan, PK, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil). The actress has had an extremely successful run at the movies and has four major releases lined up this year. Bollywood is an industry that runs on hypocrisy, where married men like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar don't get bogged down by the fact that they are married; for actresses, however, this is not a case. It is often believed in the Bollywood industry that if you are married, your career is over and there's no way that you can save it. Anushka who has been breaking stereotypes with her choice of work, launching her own production house when she was just eight films old, or in spite of being an outsider making it this big in the movies; decided to marry the love of her life and setting the whole industry in a frenzy and making an impactful statement.
Marrying under 30
Let's accept the fact that we are currently living in a world which is far more open-minded and progressive than what it was a decade back. Women nowadays don't even think of getting married before 30. They are ambitious, focused and are career driven and for Anushka Sharma who is just 29, her marriage came across as a sweet shock.
Virat moving to Mumbai
Well, that is a kickass way of setting an example. Virat Kohli who has already proved himself to be the best boyfriend in the world because of his gestures and support for his ladylove will be moving to Mumbai to live with his wife Anushka. As Anushka's based out of Mumbai it will become extremely difficult for her to move to Delhi and thus her husband, kicked patriarchy in the face thus breaking a major stereotype.
Working after marriage
The talented actress has made it clear that she is going to be working after marriage and will continue to do the same body of work that she has been doing for so long. Anushka has always been stating that marriage for her will never be a hindrance and that it is just a part of life.
Mr and Mrs Kohli have made one thing certain that they are not from the crowd that will bow down to societal stereotypes or pressure. They are from the section that writes their own rules and lives life together on their own terms. We wish this gorgeous couple a happy married life ahead and may they keep breaking stereotypes to set new examples for the World to follow.
