Seven years ago, the wedding between Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza made headlines. And now, India cricket captain Virat Kohli tying the knot with Bollywood diva Anushka Sharma is the hotcake.
When Sania spoke about how amazing the star couple is and although she would not be able to attend their reception ceremonies in Delhi or Mumbai, how she knew both personally, there was a twinkle in her eyes.
“I don’t know (whether I will attend their reception) I am not in the country I am leaving on December 21. I will be in Dubai,” Sania told reporters on the sidelines of the Premjit Lall Invitational Tennis Tournament at the Jaidip Mukerjea Academy.
“The media hype I don’t cherish at all. It is amazing right: Virat and Anushka…everybody’s known they have been together for a long time and what better when two people love each other to get married. They have gotten married and they realised how much media hype will be around them so they went away to Italy and did it. But still, at some point, they will have to face it. High profile weddings are always complicated in terms of dealing with so much of outside stuff. Shaadi gives enough stress anyway. My sister got married and it wasn’t a high profile wedding but was still stressful,” she said speaking on the topic.
Sania had wished Virat and Anushka on the day of their marriage, tweeting, “Awee! Congratulations you two…you look lovely and so so happy…wish you all the happiness in the world.”
Awee ❤️ congratulations you two .. you look lovely and so so happy .. wish you all the happiness in the world ❤️ @imVkohli https://t.co/RNeu0ioGK3
