Anushka Sharma Responded to SRK’s Desire to be a Virat

In the entertainment and cricket industries, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are considered one of the “IT” couples. After dating for a few years, the deeply in love pair were married in 2017.

The two have been spreading fairytale vibes ever since. In the present, the couple is a father to Vamika and Akaay, two adorably cute children. Anushka and Virat kept their relationship a secret while they were dating.

The cricketer’s name was also frequently used to make fun of the actress. We recently came onto an old interview in which Anushka responded when Shah Rukh Khan called her by Virat’s name.

When Anushka Sharma reacted to Shah Rukh Khan’s wish to play the role of Virat Kohli

Together, Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan worked on a number of films, including Zero, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and Jab Harry Met Sejal.

However, Shah Rukh used the name of Anushka Sharma’s then-boyfriend Virat Kohli to pull her legs at the Jab Harry Met Sejal movie promotion.

Shah Rukh was asked to choose a cricket player whose role he would like to perform on screen during the promotions. He adopted Virat’s name in response.

But Anushka cut him off, adding that in that case he would have to grow a beard. “But you will need to grow a beard,”

She remarked. Furthermore, after growing a beard, Shah Rukh halted Anushka and disagreed, saying he resembled Virat Kohli in his movie Jab Harry Met Sejal.

Says Shah Rukh:

However, I developed a beard. I had a similar appearance to Virat Kohli in Harry Met Sejal. Just like him.”

When Virat Kohli was referred to as Shah Rukh Khan’s “damaad jaisa,”

With every one of his co-stars, Shah Rukh Khan has a close relationship. Anushka Sharma is hardly an anomaly either.

But during one of the actor’s “Ask Me Anything” sessions, evidence of this was discovered. Shah Rukh was asked to share some information about the successful cricket player Virat Kohli during the same.

The Jawan actor responded to this in a most endearing way, saying that he loves Virat and constantly prays for the cricket player’s health.

However, Shah Rukh also jokingly said that Virat is similar to his damaad. Reading SRK’s tweet in this way:
