Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli
Actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli surprised everyone by tying the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2017. The power couple got married in Tuscany, Italy, with very few invitees from the film or cricket world. The couple later held a grand reception in Delhi. However, their Italy wedding seemingly had an uninvited guest who gatecrashed into the high-profile wedding.
In a recent podcast with Hindi Rush, security head Yaseen Khan, who managed Virat and Anuhska's wedding, revealed that a gatecrasher managed to enter the wedding.
Recalling a person who gatecrashed Anushka and Virat's wedding, Yaseen said, "A gatecrasher, dressed exactly like a maharaja, arrived in a BMW, accompanied by two bouncers in a Safari. I wasn't present at the gate. I was on the main floor where the wedding was taking place. My team was there. We know gatecrashers by face. My supervisor had a doubt, so he flagged it for the event management team."
He further revealed that the young trainees in the management team misperceived the gatecrasher for a real guest and ended up allowing him into the venue. He revealed how he then handled the situation and said, "When I got my eyes on him, he would stay only in the corner. His security guards would click his picture with a celebrity, after which he'd retreat into the corner. If you're a guest, you'd mingle with others at the wedding."
When Yaseen enquired about his identity, the uninvited guest claimed that he was the nephew of a prominent guest who had been unable to attend the wedding in Italy. Yaseen recalled that he then cross-checked the claim with Virat's manager, who told him that the guest in question had been invited only to the Delhi reception, not the Italy wedding. Yaseen shared that he later informed the man that entry was restricted to invited guests only, following which the individual reacted with some attitude before eventually leaving.
Anushka and Kohli met when they collaborated on an advertisement. The couple dated for a brief time, but kept their relationship out of the public eye. They finally tied the knot in 2017 in a private ceremony in Italy, attended by close friends and family.
The couple are now parents to two children, Vamika and Akaay. Over the years, they have maintained a low-profile strategy to their personal life, keeping the family largely out of the spotlight. They now reside in London, where they are raising their children. Anushka has been away from films for a long time; however, she is often seen supporting and cheering for Virat from the stands during his cricket matches.
