As Indians, there are two things we definitely pride ourselves on, more than much else – Cricket (which is definitely more than just a sport), and Bollywood. Our love for the game and the film industry transcends ‘acceptable’ levels and calling it ‘borderline obsessed’ may not be all that wrong. But get those two together, and you have the most OMG moment on social media, much like celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who broke the internet with the announcement of their wedding in Tuscany – marking the rise of #Virushka, our favourite trending hashtag this wedding season!
Of course, movie celebrities were not the only glamorous stars at the ceremony. The stunning venue of St Regis, all decked up for Virushka’s Mumbai reception, saw the attendance of some of our favourite cricketers; all looking absolutely dapper to give their heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple.
What’s an auspicious wedding without the God of Cricket himself?
Marvellous sportsman and an ace of Twitter clapbacks – none other than Mr Virender Sehwag
