New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): Actor Anushka Sharma was not present in the stands during the nail-biting thriller T20 World Cup final match between Team India and South Africa but she did not forget to support her husband and star batter Virat Kohli virtually.
The pictures of Kohli pouring out his emotions while conversing with Anushka on a video call post winning the World Cup have been doing the rounds on the internet since Saturday night. Fans went gaga over Anushka and Virat for setting couple goals.
Interestingly, amid the widespread love for the two, chef Chinu Vaze shared a post on Instagram, highlighting the kind nature of Anushka.
“So I messaged @anushkasharma yesterday, something totally random about my baby cookbook (for which she is very kindly writing the foreward), totally NOT realising that it’s the @t20worldcup FINAL and that she possibly has other things on her mind. And she even replied!! When I say she is NICE, she is very, very nice. So from someone who really isn’t into cricket- GOOOOOO INDIA & @virat.kohli (mostly because you have an awesome wife, but also you are pretty awesome!),” Chinu shared.
