In a country, where we are divided on different religious values, castes and culture, our love for cricket and Bollywood unites us. The relationship between cricket and Bollywood goes way back when the former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi lost his heart to the Bengali beauty of Hindi cinema, Sharmila Tagore in 1965. Since then, we have seen celeb couples like Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra, Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech, Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic amongst others, making the bond between Bollywood and cricket strong. There’s no happier moment for us than witnessing how cricketers, who show their pride on the cricket field become weak in the knees in front of B-town beauties.

Sagarika Ghatge had announced her registered marriage with Zaheer Khan by posting the first ever picture together as husband and wife. Sagarika had simply captioned it as “23.11.2017”. For the intimate ceremony of registering their marriage and exchanging varmalas, Sagarika had proved less is more as she had opted for a beautiful and simple bright red saree. Sagarika had accentuated her look with oxidised silver jewellery, minimal makeup and traditional green bangles, which are an important part of a Marathi bride’s attire. Zaheer had complemented her in a pink-coloured kurta.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli had announced their wedding with two pictures from the ceremony and had captioned it as “Today we have promised each other to be bound in love for ever. 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.” While Anushka had floored us with her pale pink Sabyasachi lehenga with renaissance embroidery, Virat complemented her perfectly in an ivory silk sherwani, which was hand embroidered in a vintage Benarasi pattern. Anushka’s wedding look became the most desirable ensemble for every bride-to-be and still continues to be one!
