10 things you would like to know about the Virat-Anushka love story

4. Fans troll Anushka after Virat’s World Cup failure

Anushka was accompanying Virat down under when India faced Australia in the semi-final of the 2015 World Cup and he, unfortunately, couldn’t perform well with the bat there leading to India’s loss and their elimination from the tournament.

Anushka, for some reason, was held responsible for the failure in the semi-final and subsequently India’s loss. The ‘Rab ne bana di Jodi’ fame actress was trolled brutally on social media with some people accusing her of taking Virat’s focus away from the game.

5. Relationship on the verge of break-up

The couple saw some real lows in the relationship too as at one point in time, they were on the verge of breaking up or had almost broken up. Or at least it was speculated so. They had unfollowed each other on social networking sites and Virat was believed to have told his close friends that he was back to being single.

While the exact reason of the rift is unknown, a report in Punjab Kesari claimed that the fact that Anushka’s movie Bombay Velvet couldn’t do well on the Box office triggered the fight between the duo as Virat had invested 40 cr. rupees in that movie. They had a heated argument over that which hurt Anushka and she decided to end her relationship with the Delhi batsman.

6. Salman Khan initiated the patch-up

The relationship was back on track soon though as the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was working with Anushka around that time in the movie Sultan, took it upon himself to sort the differences of the couple. He reportedly invited them both to his house for dinner and got them talking to each other which eventually led to the patch-up and the Virushka fans couldn’t stop thanking Dabangg Khan for that.
