Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, affectionately known as “Virushka,” have long been celebrated as one of Bollywood’s most beloved couples. Their relationship, marked by mutual respect and admiration, has often been in the spotlight. In a candid interview with Film Companion during the promotion of her 2018 film Sui Dhaaga: Made in India, Anushka shared her deep affection for her husband. When the host referred to Virat as the “greatest batsman alive,” Anushka, with a radiant smile, responded, “I am married to the greatest man in the world,” emphasizing her pride in their bond.
Beyond this endearing remark, Anushka elaborated on the foundation of their relationship. She described both herself and Virat as “very simple people” who are “awkward” with fame and prefer to lead a “very spiritual life.” This grounded approach, she believes, is what strengthens their connection. Anushka further noted that they don’t see themselves as a “power couple,” stating that if they did, “there’s something wrong in the nature of our relationship.” Instead, they focus on being “male and female versions of each other,” sharing similar values and a deep understanding.
Their relationship is characterized by a sense of normalcy and mutual support. Anushka has often spoken about how, when they are together, “the world ceases to exist,” highlighting the comfort and peace they find in each other’s company. This sentiment was further echoed during a promotional event in Jaipur, where students chanted Virat’s name, prompting Anushka to blush and express, “Yes, everyone loves him. I also love him. Everyone is missing him. I am missing him too.”
Anushka’s heartfelt tribute to Virat Kohli underscores the depth of their relationship, built on mutual respect, shared values, and a commitment to leading a grounded life amidst the glitz and glamour of their respective careers. Their enduring bond continues to inspire fans, serving as a testament to the power of love and understanding in the face of public scrutiny.
