MUMBAI: Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma who recently got married in Italy gifted an anthology of Rumi’s poems to the guests who attended the wedding ceremony.
According to Indian media , the couple are great lovers of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi , a 13th-century Muslim poet, jurist, and Sufi mystic, and shared their love for him by gifting collection of his poems to the guests.
They started dating in 2013 after they met during the filming of a shampoo advert and made their first public appearance a year later during a football match.
The couple will host a reception in New Delhi for relatives on December 21, followed by a celebration in Mumbai on December 26 to be attended by Bollywood stars and cricketers.
After spending New Year´s Eve together Sharma will return to Mumbai in the first week of January to resume her acting commitments.
They will live in the Worli district of Mumbai, the home of India´s Hindi film industry, it said.
Last year, Kohli reportedly bought a luxury, sea-view apartment in the area for 340 million rupees ($5.3 million).
The pair, dubbed "Virushka" by Indian media, are one of the highest profile couples in star-obsessed India.
Kohli is among the world´s highest-paid athletes and a huge star in the cricket-mad nation, and Sharma is one of the top actresses in the country´s multi-billion-dollar film industry.
