Here’s Why Anushka Sharma Married Virat Kohli At The Age Of 29

Mumbai: Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are the undoubtedly the most adorable celeb couple ever. Fondly called ‘Virushka’, the duo are constantly by each other’s side and the love between them seems to be growing by leaps and bounds with every passing day.

In her recent interview with Filmfare, Anushka revealed why she got married at 29 which is “supposedly a young age for an actress to get married.” The actress was quoted as saying, “Our audience is way more evolved than our industry is. Audiences are just interested in seeing actors on screen. They don’t care about your personal lives, whether you’re married or whether you’re a mother. We need to get out of this headspace. I got married at 29, supposedly young for an actress. But I did it because I was in love. And I am in love.”

“Marriage was a natural progression. I’ve always stood for women being treated equally. So, I wouldn’t want to experience the most beautiful moment of my life with fear in mind. If a man doesn’t think twice before getting married and continues to work, then why should a woman think about it? I’m happy that more actresses have got married. People in love are going out there and expressing it. It’s so beautiful to see happy couples together,” she added.

On the work front, Anushka Sharma was last seen in Aanand L. Rai’s ‘Zero’ where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. In the film, she played Aafia Yusufzai Bhinder, a scientist with cerebral palsy.

Despite the film doing average at the box office, she was praised for her honest portrayal of Aafia, with Namrata Joshi of The Hindu calling her performance “earnest and invested.”
