Virat Kohli matched Sachin Tendulkar's record on his birthday and now has an equal number of centuries in ODIs to his name as the God of Indian cricket. He has been the most inspiring cricketer the world over for more than a decade but for him, his true inspiration is his wife Anushka Sharma.
Time and again their chemistry, deep understanding, and bonding are evident be it when the Bollywood star is in the stadium to watch her hubby dear play or when the two grace an event together or do an interview.
Although their bonding must have grown slowly as they spent more time with each other, their sizzling chemistry was right there from day one when they shot their first advertisement for a shampoo product.
The BTS clip that recently surfaced online shows the two rehearsing and shooting the ad and the way the two are looking at each other in this clip it is as if they are actually in love with each other. However, that was their first interaction and collaboration.
Virat Kohli is quite a tall guy but then Anushka is equally tall and this did bother the Indian cricketer when they were shooting for the ad.
He was a bit nervous as Virat was not used to shooting and working in commercials. Those were the early days when he had emerged as the star Indian batsman. For Anushka Sharma, it was the run-of-the-mill job of being an actress. Both did not know how to break the ice and interact.
Known for his witty comments, Virat cracked a joke at Anushka who was looking taller than him in high heels. He said, "Didn’t you get a higher pair of heels than these?"
At first the then young cricketer thought that he had upset the Sultan actress. But this joke made Anushka smile and that got the two talking and soon after the ad the two started dating. Rest is history.
