Virat Kohli - Anushka Sharma marriage: Here’s where they will ring in the New Year

Virat and Anushka remained tight-lipped and refrained from responding to rumours until they solemnised their marriage in presence of family and very close friends on Monday.

Mumbai: Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli put all speculations about their marriage to rest by exchanging marital vows at a private ceremony in Tuscany, Italy on December 11. The two remained tight-lipped and refrained from responding to rumours until they solemnised their marriage in presence of family and very close friends on Monday.

They took to Twitter to issue a joint statement that read:

“Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever. We are truly blessed to share the news with you. This beautiful day will be made more special with the love and support of our family of fans & well wishers. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.”

The couple will host a reception in Delhi on December 21 for friends and relatives in the capital followed by a bash in Mumbai on December 26 for film industry colleagues and cricketers.

Anushka, who had reportedly applied for a tourist visa to South Africa will be accompanying husband to the country as he leads India in matches against the hosts for the first time after losing his bachelorhood.

So it is likely that the two will ring in the New Year in South Africa and spend some time together to make the most of the festive season.

Anushka may have to return to India soon to finish shooting for Aanand L Rai’s film starring Shah Rukh Khan. She will also start working on her next – a YRF film – Sui Dhaaga – co-starring Varun Dhawan and last but not the least, she will have to start promoting her third production venture – Pari.

Here’s wishing the newlyweds a very happy married life.
