Before Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli had a huge crush on this actress, her name is..., not Madhuri, Rekha, Sridevi, she is married to...
We're talking about actress Genelia Deshmukh, who is currently married to actor Riteish Deshmukh, the son of the late Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh. She was one of Virat's early crushes. In a viral video, Virat himself revealed this when RJ Anusha asked him which actress he likes to watch play cricket. Without hesitation, he mentioned Genelia, calling her 'very cute.' It's clear that Virat had a fondness for Genelia at that time. Today, both Virat and Genelia are well-settled in their lives, each with responsibilities as parents to two children. Genelia married Riteish in 2012, while Virat tied the knot with Anushka in 2017.
In an episode of 'In Depth With Graham Bensinger,' Virat recalled his first meeting with Anushka, saying, 'She is from a similar background as me. We both come from middle-class families, have worked hard in our respective careers, and reached a certain stage. In hindsight, when we look at our lives, they were progressing at the same pace but in completely different worlds.' More About Genelia Deshmukh And Virat Kohli
Virat and Anushka are currently raising their two children, Vamika and Akay, and are very happy as a family. Meanwhile, Genelia has made a successful comeback to the screen with Aamir Khan's film 'Sitaare Zameen Par,' released on June 20. The film also includes ten newcomers: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar, along with Dolly Ahluwalia, Brijendra Kala and Gurpal Singh in pivotal roles.

Aamir Khan participated in a playful prank video with YouTuber couple Nick and Carrie. Aamir Khan recently released his latest movie, Sitaare Zameen Par, on YouTube, leaving the audience enthusiastic. The comedy drama, directed by R. S. Prasanna, is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions. After its theatrical release in June this year, the movie has received immense praise. Now that the spiritual successor to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par has reached the OTT platform, the 60-year-old star can be seen subtly promoting it with content creators Nick and Carrie. As the makers embarked on a new journey on YouTube, Aamir Khan can be seen joining Nick on his 'Celebrity prank on my fiance…" The video shared on the discussion platform Reddit begins with the content creator welcoming the actor with a warm heart, mentioning, 'Hello sir, how are you?" Soon, the actor replies, 'Very good," and poses for a selfie with Nick. The content creator then embarks to prank his fiancée. He says, 'Let's get Carrie!" The video quickly changes to a scene where Carrie can be seen seated on a couch in their living room, all set to watch a movie alongside her husband. Nick then asks her, 'Ready for a movie day?" And as the loving fiancée asks, 'What are we watching today?" Nick informs her, 'Today I'm gonna show you a basketball movie and I bet you're gonna cry." She can be seen making a disgusted face while wondering, 'A basketball movie and I will cry?" The cutie content creator then rolls her eyes and mentions, 'Impossible." Carrie Breaks Into Tears After Watching Sitaare Zameen Par Nick then plays Sitaare Zameen Par on their television set, and we can spot Carrie enjoying the movie thoroughly. Pointing towards one of the funny scenes of the comedy drama, she questions him, 'I'll cry over this?!" The doting husband then assures her to wait till the end. Soon, the scene jumps towards the end of the film, wherein Carrie can be seen extremely emotional and teary-eyed. Panning the camera towards her, Nick says, 'Aww babee are you okay?!" and even offers water to her. Finally, with the deception of going to bring a towel for her, he adorably brings in Aamir Khan in the frame. At this point, when Carrie discovers that the actor appearing in the film was seated beside her, she jumps in shock and excitement. She then cutely hides her face in the towel and utters, 'This is so embarrassing." The Bollywood superstar then questions her, 'Are you liking the movie?" To which the overwhelmed content creator quickly quipped, 'It's really good. I really like it." Aamir further adds, 'But why are you crying so much? It's a funny movie. I hope you are laughing through it." Carrie then reveals, 'I was until you left." Afterwards, Nick informs the actor that he has already won the bet and expresses his gratitude for being present at the exact moment. Carrie leaves the frame, showcasing her utmost embarrassment, leaving the remaining two of them rolling on the floor in laughter. The video was captioned as 'Aamir Khan Features in Video with Nick and Carrie to Promote Sitaare zameen par."

‘Before their wedding, Virat Kohli would come to Anushka Sharma's house…': Reveals neighbour Vivek Agnihotri
While some celebrity couples believe in hiding their romance from the media, others openly wear their heart on their sleeve acknowledging it publicly. Cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma fall in both these categories. Initially, they kept their relationship private. However, later on, they confirmed that they are in love. In 2017, in an intimate ceremony in Italy, Virat and Anushka tied the knot. Well, did you know the kids in the street near Anushka's house used to go gaga every time Virat visited her before they got married? 7 years after Virat and Anushka's wedding, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has now spilled the beans about their romance. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's old photo During his recent appearance on The Raunac Podcast, Vivek Agnihotri revealed he was Anushka Sharma's neighbour. The filmmaker shared, 'Anushka Sharma was my neighbour back then. We lived in the same society, we moved out and they must have too… but her father is still a great friend of mine.' He went on to add, 'Much before their wedding, Virat would often come to her house, to meet her. Children in our street used to go crazy. They would run behind his car in fondness. That is the only memory I have of him. I have never met him personally. Also, I am not too much into cricket, I never find time between my work. I have been busy.' Seven years later, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are busy enjoying their happily ever after in London. Just recently, they were snapped in the streets, interacting with fans. After their fairytale wedding in Italy, where the groom donned a custom Sabyasachi ivory raw silk sherwani and the blushing bride was a vision in her pale pink Sabyasachi lehenga with floral motifs, the happy couple welcomed their first child into the world in January 2021. They were blessed with a daughter, who they named Vamika. In February 2024, Anushka and Virat announced the birth of their second child, son Akaay.
