Anushka wishes a ‘Merry Christmas’ to fans

NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, who recently married to cricketer Virat Kohli, has extended Christmas wishes to her Christian fans.

Anushka took to twitter to wish her fans early today.

The actress tweets, “May the spirit of the Christmas fill your home with peace, joy and love. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!”.

Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma got married in Italy on December 11, they said in a statement, ending weeks of frenzied speculation that they were getting hitched.

“Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever. We are truly blessed to share the news with you,” the celebrity couple said, adding that it had been a “beautiful day”.

A statement sent to journalists said the wedding had been attended by close family and a few friends as “they wished their wedding to be a very private affair”. The ceremony was performed as per Hindu rituals, it added.

Kohli and Sharma started dating in 2013 after they met during the filming of a shampoo advert.

The high-profile couple made their first public appearance a year later during a football match. Kohli is one of the world’s highest-paid athletes and a huge star in cricket-obsessed India, and Sharma is one of the top actresses in the country’s multi-billion-dollar film industry.
