They first met while shooting a famous shampoo commercial. Both the celebrities were acing in their own fields and thus became the face of the brand. It did not take too long for them to fall for each other. They used to often meet each other and get to know about one another’s life, likes and dislikes.

During the honeymoon phase of their relationship, both Virat and Anushka were seen visiting the other on set and during tours. After being seen together at an Indian Super League match in Pune, Anushka was spotted in the stands during multiple cricket matches in 2014. But the one that stood out from those was India’s game against Sri Lanka at Hyderabad where Virat had blown a kiss with his bat to his lady love after scoring a half-century.

Neither of them made it too much of big deal and declared their love out loud to fans or media, but they also did not hide their love for each other. They were often spotted together, and, in fact, Anushka would attend Virat’s matches to cheer for him and Team India. Virat also apparently flew to Udaipur to visit Anushka, while she was shooting for ‘Bombay Velvet’.

There was also an instance when Shah Rukh Khan – Anushka’s co-star in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ – held a swayamvar of sorts for Virat during a cricket match’s opening ceremony a few years ago and Virat could not stop blushing when Anushka’s photo popped up.

Just like every other couple, even Anushka and Virat’s relationship went through rough patches. Anushka was unfortunately targeted by trolls when Virat’s performance deteriorated on the field. People started blaming Anushka’s presence at the stands due to which Virat was getting diverted and thus didn’t perform up to the mark.

However, the doting boyfriend that Virat is, he immediately came in support of his ladylove and slammed those who blamed Anushka for his or Indian team’s failure.

In a long post, Virat said: “Shame on those people who have been having a go at anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated. Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig. And i dont need any respect for this post. Have some compassion and respect her. Think of how your sister or girlfriend or wife would feel if someone trolled them and very conveniently rubbished them in public. #nocompassion#nocommonsense.”

Earlier, in 2016 Virat took to his Instagram and posted a photo of himself with a caption “Heartbroken” which led to reports of him and Anushka’s alleged fall out. He deleted the photo and reposted it with a new caption, ‘Feels like I committed a crime deleting this picture. Haha sorry guys ????. Here it is again (sic).’

But these break up rumours were rubbished by the two when Virat posted pictures of them together on Women’s Day and thanking Anushka for fighting against the odds regularly and standing up for righteousness and changing the norms. He also went on to share a picture of the two on Valentine’s Day. There were also engagement rumours of the two that did the rounds last year around this time. It was alleged that Virat and Anushka were heading to Rishikesh to get engaged on the New Year’s and get married.

However, Virat cleared all the speculation with a tweet that said, “Since news channels can’t resist selling false rumours & keeping you confused, we are just ending the confusion. We aren’t getting engaged & if we were going to, we wouldn’t hide it’. Virat and Anushka celebrated Christmas together with a vacation in Dehradun and have had a pretty great 2017 so far. They’ve vacationed in New York, attended Sachin Tendulkar’s movie premier together, walked on red carpets together and even came in a super adorable ad that went viral on the internet.
