Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's love story is known to all. The famous cricketer fell head-over-heels in love with Anushka while shooting their first advertisement together. Their love story was written in the stars, but due to Virat's poor performance, the cricketer's fans criticised them heavily.
In fact, Virat, time and again, faces trolling for his performance on the cricket field. Without understanding the fact that it is a game, while some will win, some will have to lose. Virat is facing a similar backlash from his fraternity and fans due to his performance in the latest Test series. Let's take a look at Virat's love story and how his wife, Anushka took the brunt of his professional life!
In a hush-hush wedding ceremony in Italy in December 2017, Virat and Anushka tied the knot forever, leaving everyone crying happy tears. After this, they celebrated their union with grand receptions in Delhi and Mumbai. However, it was in 2014, when Anushka faced massive trolling for Virat's performance.
People used demeaning words like 'panauti' for Anushka as they claimed it was due to her presence that the cricketer was diverted from his goal. While Anuhska maintained a dignified silence, Virat lashed out at the trollers and claimed that his ladylove was the one, who motivated him.
It was in 2016, when reports were rife, that Anushka and Virat parted ways. Their public appearances were minimised. It is reported that it was during the same time when Anushka and Virat realised that they could not live away from each other. Later, in 2017, they got married.

We still remember there was a time when Anushka was trolled for Virat's poor performance and later for getting special treatment from the board of the Indian cricket team. However, she had kept silent for a long time, but on October 31, 2019, she had bared her heart in an open letter, which she had posted on her official Instagram account. She shared a picture, wherein she had written:
"I have always been of the opinion that maintaining silence on false & fabricated news and stories against one are the best way to deal with your detractors. This is how I have handled my career for 11 years now. I always saw the dignity & truth embedded in the shadow of my silence. They say a lie so many times repeatedly that it starts to look like the truth and I am afraid this is what has been happening with me. My silence has made the lies spitted against me seem true but that ends today."
After facing a lot of criticism and threats, Virat and Anushka gave up their celebrity statuses to give their kids, Vamika and Akaay, a normal life. There are many reports that claim Virat and Anushka had left India and are planning to stay in the UK. However, they continue to visit India for their work commitments.
Well, Virat and Anushka are proud parents of Vamika and Akaay, and they are making sure to keep them away from the media limelight. While people often wonder why they are so protective of their kids, the reason is simple — they have faced a lot of media scrutiny.
