Mumbai: After days of intense speculation and denials, Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma tied the knot on Monday in a private ceremony, reportedly at a countryside resort named Borgo Finocchieto, Italy — one of the most expensive holiday properties in the world.
“Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever. We are truly blessed to share the news with you. This beautiful day will be made more special with the love and support of our family of fans & well-wishers. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey”, the couple, said in a joint statement.
