Here we are telling you about some special things related to their love story and married life. The first meeting of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma was very interesting. Both of them met on the set during an ad shoot in the year 2013. Virat Kohli had told in an interview that he was very nervous during his first meeting with Anushka and to overcome his nervousness and talk to Anushka, he cracked a joke. Actually, during the ad shoot, Anushka looked taller than Virat, so the cricketer said, 'Don't you think you are wearing very high heels.' Anushka Sharma got angry after hearing this from Virat Kohli and she said, 'Excuse me.' After such a reaction of Anushka, a strange situation arose. However, later both of them became good friends. In 2014, Virat scored a century in Melbourne. Anushka had also reached to watch this match. After completing his century, Virat gave a flying kiss to Anushka who was present in the stadium. Due to this, fans started speculating that the two are getting closer. Dating speculations also started. After dating for a few years, Anushka and Virat got married in December 2017. To make this wedding royal, Virat-Anushka spent money like water. The resort in which Virushka got married was opened especially for them in December. Otherwise this resort always opens in April. Only 50 special guests were invited for the wedding. The cost of one person staying here for a week is about one crore rupees. According to this, Rs 45-50 crore were spent only on accommodating the guests for Virat and Anushka's wedding. When Anushka Sharma was dating Virat Kohli, she liked one special thing about the cricketer. Anushka said in an event related to Indian Sports Honors in the year 2023, 'Before dating, one thing I liked about Virat was his memory. I thought this thing would be very helpful for me.' It was because of Virat Kohli's good memory that Anushka came close to him. On 11 January 2021, Anushka gave birth to daughter Vamika, while on 15 February 2024, she gave birth to son Akay. These days Anushka is giving full time to raising her children away from films, Virat also spends more time with the family. Anushka reached many matches this season to support Virat and RCB team.

You have to stay strong in difficult times, keep struggling continuously, in the end you find a way. I saw Anushka doing this and have learned the same thing from her.' Whenever Virat has won a title, he has given credit to Anushka. Be it the 2024 T20 World Cup or the 2025 Champions Trophy. Even after winning the IPL, Kohli gave credit to Anushka and said that Anushka has been with me in every difficult time. I am grateful to her.

Housefull 5 India Advance Booking Update: Akshay Kumar's comic caper to sell in the vicinity of 40000 tickets in top chains with a day to go
Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 is gearing up for its big release on June 6, 2025. The advance bookings for the comic caper kicked off a few days ago and here is how the bookings are in India's top multiplex chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis. As of 10 PM on June 4, the film has sold 37,000 tickets. By the end of the day, Housefull 5 is expected to hit 40,000 tickets. With just one day left, the makers are hoping for a massive surge to reach at least 100,000 tickets in these chains. The advance bookings for the Akshay Kumar starrer started on June 1. Initially, the target was to sell 125,000 to 150,000 tickets in PVRInox and Cinepolis. However, the pace has been slower than expected. As of now, the film is aiming for a more realistic 100,000 tickets by Thursday night. This would set the stage for a respectable opening day collection of Rs 20 crore net in India. While Rs 20 crore is a not exactly a bad start, a film of Housefull 5's scale, boasting a Rs 225 crore budget, needs a bigger opening to make waves. A Rs 25-30 crore start would be ideal, but you take what you get. Outside the top chains, the booking trend is stronger. Chains like Rajhans, MovieMax, and Miraj are seeing better pre-sales. This suggests that Housefull 5 could see good walk-in numbers on release day, especially in smaller towns. The weekend bookings looks promising. Advance bookings for Saturday (Bakri Eid) and Sunday are picking up strongly. Family audiences are expected to turn up in big numbers, boosting the film's prospects. If the comedy lands well and the murder-mystery intrigue around the dual climaxes clicks, Housefull 5 could see a big jump over the weekend. Financially, Housefull 5 is in a strong position. The film has already recovered nearly 60 percent of its budget, that is around Rs 135 crore, through non-theatrical sources like satellite rights, digital streaming, and music deals. This gives the makers a safety net. To break even, the film needs to gross Rs 275 crore worldwide. To be declared a hit, it must cross Rs 325 crore globally. With a massive release across 5,000 screens in India, the stage is set for a big theatrical run. The unique strategy of releasing two versions with different climaxes should spark discussions after the release. This could possibly also drive repeat viewings, adding to the box office haul. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 features a star-studded cast that also includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Jacqueline Fernandez among others. The franchise's brand value and the promise of a laugh riot on a luxury cruise are key draws. With good international pre-sales and a holiday weekend ahead, Housefull 5 is poised for a reasonable global start.
