Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli are certainly one of the most loved couples on the block. At a time when relationships often succumb to fame and constant scrutiny, the two have managed to give everyone major couple goals. Their love story sets a perfect example of resilience, and they are often heard talking about how they face challenges together and choose each other every single time while growing together as well.
Anushka and Virat tied the knot in a beautiful Tuscan setting in Italy exactly six years ago on December 11.

So, as the couple celebrates their sixth wedding anniversary, here’s a look at Virushka’s love story through some heartwarming pictures:
How did they meet?
Virat and Anushka reportedly met for the first time on the sets of a TV commercial shoot. While love didn't happen instantly, they certainly made a connection that lasted beyond the shoot.
Making it Official
The two made their first public appearance as a couple in 2014, as they cheered together at an Indian Super League football game in Pune.
The much-talked about flying kiss
In 2014, Virat Kohli blew a flying kiss to Anushka Sharma during a match and it certainly made headlines all over.
Navigating the trolls
Of course, given that the two are one of the most loved public figures, their relationship was constantly scrutinised. In fact, it drew unwarranted negativity from all over, and Anushka was blamed and trolled whenever Virat underperformed on the pitch. Albeit, they made sure their relationship never bore the brunt of it.
Breakup
In 2016, fans wondered if the two had broken up after Virat unfollowed Anushka on social media. The rumours further were ignited when he posted and then deleted a picture originally captioned 'Heartbroken'.
Valentine's Day
Things got better yet again when in February 2017, Virat shared a Valentine's post with Anushka, and he wrote, "Every day is Valentine's Day with you”.
Dreamy wedding
In 2017, Anushka and Virat took everyone by surprise with their dreamy wedding in Italy. Their wedding pictures went viral, and even after six years, they still make rounds on social media. And why not? They were just breathtaking with Virat-Anushka giving everyone major couple goals.
Parenthood
The couple announced their pregnancy in August 2020, and welcomed their daughter, Vamika, on January 11, 2021.
Rumours of a second child
Meanwhile, rumours of them going to have their second baby have been on for quite some time now, but there were no confirmations. It all started with a video of the two going viral all over social media where Anushka Sharma can be seen visibly trying to hide a baby bump. Well, are congratulations in order? Only time will tell.
To say the least, Virat and Anushka consistently support one another, be it Anushka cheering for Virat during his cricket matches or Virat making sure she is loved and supported amid all the criticism.
We wish the couple a very happy anniversary!
