After a week of uncertainty, it has now emerged that Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli, and his girlfriend, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma have officially called off their relationship. The news emerged on Sunday that the couple has officially announced their separation and will focus on their respective careers hereon. Although an official statement is yet to come from both Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, however close sources from the couple has officially confirmed their split. The couple, whose relationship was broken following their leaked images online during a holiday trip in New Zealand made headlines all over the country, reports
The relationship was made official by the couple, after they started visiting each other during their work trips. The pair faced heat during their relationship after Kohli’s on-field poor performance was lambasted by Indian cricket fans on more than one occasion. When Kohli suffered repeated failures in England during the tour in 2014, Anushka was blamed for it as she was present with the Indian cricketer. But ironically, Kohli’s splendid performances later that year in Australia were celebrated and none noticed that Anushka was present there too.
However, the lowest point of their relationship which was always in the eye of the public came in the semi-final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, when Kohli’s rare blip in the all-important match against Australia resulted in India’s exit. India had gone undefeated till the semi-final, and a mis-hit on a short delivery from Mitchell Johnson ended in his dismissal. The official broadcaster ensured to show Anushka — who was shattered like every Indian cricket fan
Kohli had hit the short ball brilliantly throughout that Australian tour, but that stroke and Anushka being present was enough for the fans to pounce upon the two celebrities. Kohli was hurt from the public reaction, and he had made his emotions public after coming back from Australia.
Kohli is reported to have posted a tweet along with a selfie, confirming the break-up. However, he was quick enough to delete the tweet. Nevertheless, it was easily spotted by the fans quick enough and the news spread like a wildfire on the web. Although, they did not announce their break-up officially till then, however, they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
“Yes, marriage was the point of disagreement between the couple. However, it wasn’t a sudden decision. Both Anushka and Virat have been considering it for sometime now. While Anushka is busy working, Virat is clearly not over her. Not as yet,” a source close to them has officially confirmed.
