Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have been married for 8 years

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on December 11. The anniversary reignited attention in an earlier Instagram update by Freddy Birdy that once offered an early insight into their relationship, long before they declared anything publicly.

Internet celebrity for a Vogue magazine cover story, Freddy Birdy had previously detailed a visit to Anushka's flat in Mumbai. The story is now going viral on social media, providing an insight into the couple’s relationship when they were keeping everything private.

In his article, Birdy stated that in order to go to Anushka's luxury flat for the interview, he had to fly from Delhi to Bombay. As they got closer to her residence, Birdy saw that his driver was more excited.

He wrote at the time that Anushka was "utterly gorgeous and completely unpretentious.” He claimed that she was at ease and handled the discussion with a blend of ease and humour.

Birdy said that his driver had asked him to find out if she was seeing Virat Kohli. He claimed that at some point during the interview, he raised the issue.

He claimed that the Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actor's "best acting skills came to the fore." She went on, pretending not to be aware of any such rumours. Birdy quipped in his post that he didn't follow up on the subject "because Arnab Goswami I'm not."

Birdy went on to say that her phone rang a few minutes later. He said that he could hear the voice on the other end since the room was sufficiently quiet. He said that the tone encompassed establishing dinner plans and sounded like "flirting in the nicest way." He thought it was Kohli who had called.

When Birdy left the apartment following the interview, his driver inquired once again about Anushka's confirmation. Birdy remembered telling him "No," but he was grinning to himself.

For the unversed, Anushka and Virat tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2017 in a fairy-tale ceremony after keeping their relationship secret for years. The couple share two kids together, Vamika and Akaay.
