The Controversies
The duo was often dragged into unnecessary controversies by the media despite wanting to keep their relationship under the wraps. During the promotion of her film NH 10, Anushka reportedly lost her cool when she was constantly asked questions related to her relationship with Kohli rather than being asked questions on the movie.

But only after a couple of months the news of their break up started doing the rounds and it became quite apparent that the couple had their differences. While Virat wanted to settle down in life, Anushka, on the other hand, wanted to focus on her career. As per reports, it was learnt that Virat’s over-possessive nature played a role in creating a rift between the two.

Falling in Love Again

The couple was also seen dancing their heart out during the ceremony.
Mutual Admiration for Each Other
The couple had publicly praised each other for their respective work. In 2015, after watching NH 10, Virat shared an emotional tweet where he congratulated Anushka for a brilliant performance in the movie. The actress also had time and again praised her husband for his stellar performances for Team India and his franchises.
Tying the Knot
