Indian cricketer Virat Kohli announced on January 15 that he would be stepping down as the captain of the Test team. The moment the announcement was made, reactions on social media went over the roof. His wife and actress Anushka Sharma has also written something special for him. The actress shared a long and heartfelt note for her husband and also shared two pictures to express her feelings.
She wrote- "I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you & I having a chat later that day & him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I’ve seen more than just your beard turning grey. I’ve seen growth. Immense growth. Around you & within you. And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team & what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I’m more proud of the growth you achieved within you."
She added, "In 2014 we were so young & naive. Thinking that just good intentions, positive drive & motives can take you ahead in life. They definitely do but, not without challenges. A lot of these challenges that you faced were not always on the field. But then, this is life right? It tests you in places where you least expect it to but where you need it the most. And my love, I am so proud of you for not letting anything come in the way of your good intentions. You led by example & gave winning on field every ounce of your energy to the extent that after some losses I’ve sat next to you with tears in your eyes, while you wondered if there`s still something more you could have done. This is who you are & this is what you expected from everyone. You`ve been unconventional & straightforward. Pretence is your foe & this is what makes you great in my eyes & the eyes of your admirers."
Coming to Sharma, her return to the movies has been hugely speculated and anticipated by her fans and industry alike and we can now confirm that Anushka is set to sign about three premium projects! It looks like two of them will be theatrical projects and she will also be seen in one hugely mounted OTT original film that is set to be the biggest movie ever shot for the digital platform in India!
“Anushka’s glorious track record at delivering the biggest hits in Hindi cinema coupled with her brilliant, versatile acting skills, already makes these project huge talking points. So, one can expect each announcement to become big conversation starters. Anushka has always been keen to be a part of the best cinema being produced by Hindi film industry and these new choices will be reflective of her headspace to choose entertainers that are fresh and new. She will be focussing on her acting career and wants to be a part of cinema that is remarkably differential yet hugely entertaining,” says a source.
