Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are easily one of the most favourite couples in the industry. The actress met the Indian Cricket Team Captain on the sets of an ad shoot and that is how their love story began. Before getting married two years ago, they dated for a couple of years. While it took them years to publicly make an appearance together, fans have always wanted to know how it all began for the two celebrities. Now, this is the first time Virat is opening about how he met Anushka and that he was nervous and jittery.

“The first time I met her I cracked a joke immediately. I was very nervous and that’s why I cracked a joke because I didn’t know what to do. I was standing on sets and was being all nervous and jittery. I thought I was being funny (when I cracked that joke), and I said something which wasn’t probably the right thing to say. She is tall and she was wearing heels (makes a gesture which isn’t too much) and she was being told that I am not that tall, I am not 6 feet plus or something… she walked in with heels and was looking taller than me and I was like didn’t you get a higher pair of heels. Then she was like ‘excuse me’ and then I was like ‘no, I am just joking’. My joke became such a weird moment for myself. I was such a fool, to be honest. She was so confident, she is on sets regularly,” Virat said while speaking to American television sports reporter Graham Bensinger.

Talking about both of them are similar, Virat Kohli further said, “She is also from a similar background as me. We come from middle class families, made it in their respective careers, worked hard, got to a certain stage. In hindsight, when we look into our lives, they were going at the same pace but in totally different worlds. The timelines of my debut is 2008, the timeline of her starting her first film, shooting for it was 2008 August. We met in 2013 and out lives have been so similar in totally different worlds and then we got along so well. We were talking real things, we were talking things that a lot of people don’t connect with, only if you have seen that life will you understand what we are talking about. So the connect was there immediately.”
