Virat Kohli felt like a 'complete idiot' when he told Anushka Sharma about her heels during their first meeting at an ad shoot: 'I had messed up'

Virat Kohli revealed his awkward first encounter with Anushka Sharma on a commercial set. Nervous, he joked about her heels, a comment that fell flat. Anushka's unimpressed reaction made him feel foolish. Despite the rocky start, they married in 2017 and now have two children, Vamika and Akaay.
Anushka and Virat's London relocation for privacy
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma serve couple goals now but did you know Virat thought he almost just messed it up during his first meet with the actress. The couple met first on the set of a commercial shoot and then the rest is history. They tied the knot in 2017 and have two kids. In an interview, Virat was asked about how he met Anushka and fell in love. Recalling their first meet, the cricketer said that he was quite anxious as it was an ad shoot.
The cricketer said in an interview with American sports journalist Graham Bensinger, "I was standing there, super nervous. I had no idea how to break the ice, so I said something silly. I looked at her and said, ‘Couldn’t you have worn higher heels?’ Hoping it would be funny.”
He said that he was conscious that Anushka would look taller than him and that joke was his way of suggesting her that she shouldn't have worn high heels. Recalling Anushka's reaction, he said, "But she just gave me a look and said, ‘Excuse me?’ I immediately realized I had messed up and tried to laugh it off. Inside, I felt like a complete idiot.”

Virat said that Anushka was quite confident as she was used to being on a set, as she's an actress but he was not used to it.
Meanwhile, Virat and Anushka now have two children - Vamika and Akaay. The couple has largely been spending time away from India, ever since their son's birth. They have also been contemplating to move to London to get some privacy for their children.
