Virat Kohli, India’s renowned cricketer and former captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, took to social media to express his heartfelt birthday wishes for his wife, the celebrated Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, on Wednesday, May 1.
Accompanied by a series of endearing pictures of Anushka, who turned 36, Kohli wrote, “I would have been completely lost if I didn’t find you. Happy birthday my love. You are the light of our world. We love you so much.”
Fans poured in with affectionate wishes for Anushka and admiration for the couple, flooding the comment section with love and appreciation. One fan described Anushka as “the biggest cheerleader and strongest support system” for Virat Kohli, while another thanked her for consistently standing by his side through thick and thin. Heart emojis and messages of admiration filled the comments, with one fan even expressing their desire to manifest a relationship like theirs.
Kohli and Anushka tied the knot in December 2017 after a courtship period, and they now share the joy of parenthood with their daughter and son.
The couple recently celebrated another milestone with the birth of their son, Akaay, in February this year. In a joint statement, they shared their happiness and sought blessings and good wishes while also requesting privacy during this special time in their lives.
While Anushka gears up for her upcoming film, “Chakda Express,” a biopic of Indian woman cricketer Jhulan Goswami, Kohli is currently engrossed in IPL 2024, representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite his stellar performance as the tournament’s top run-getter, with 500 runs in 10 matches at an impressive average of 71.43 and a strike rate of 147.49, RCB finds itself at the bottom of the points table, facing a challenging season with just three wins and six points after 10 matches.
