Its Splitsville For Virat – Anushka

After widespread speculations regarding their relationship status, Cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have called it quits. After courting each other for two years, the couple ended their relationship due to both of them wanting separate things from each other.

The news of the couple splitting comes in closely after the splits of two other Bollywood couples - Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif and Farhan Akhtar- Adhuna Bhabani. Although the 27 year Filmfare award winning actor chose to remain silent on the matter, her beloved ex took to social media to express his feelings. After unfollowing her ladylove on Twitter and Instagram, Virat uploaded, deleted and re-uploaded a photograph of him, originally captioned, `Heartbroken'.

According to sources, things turned sour for the couple when Anushka turned down the 27 year old cricketer’s offer to marry him now, as she believe that both of them are very young and they ought to concentrate on their careers first. This feud fuelled further when Virat took some time off before leaving for his Australia tour in order to spend a holiday with Anushka as both of them would stay busy for the next two months for their respective work. But since Anushka bagged a role in ‘Sultan’, she was unable to schedule some time off for going on a holiday with Virat.  

The cricketer was spotted at actor and model Angad Bedi’s birthday bash recently, where according to eyewitness, he was seen dancing while proclaiming “I’m single, let’s dance”. A guest at the party revealed that Virat had been confiding in them that he was "cloistered around his controlling girlfriend"

Anushka, who is known for her movies like NH10, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Band Baaja Baaraat, PK and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, is still keeping the paparazzi afloat with her silence over the matter. Two months back, she revealed her relation on The Anupama Chopra Show. “I am in a relationship with Virat and he wants me to come and watch him play and I want to watch him. Why the hell am I going to listen to anyone else? We are the same people actually, except that I don’t have that kind of aggression. He is emotionally driven, I am chilled out, and we both don’t want to become pawns”, she said. She received enough flak over social media for the poor performance of Virat at a World Cup match between India and Australia in 2015.

Although none of them have made an official statement regarding their split as of now, but rumors also are running that Virat is still hopeful of wooing Anushka back and is not over her as of now. The former ICC ODI Player of the Year is now going off to play the 2016 Asia Cup ‘Heartbroken’ as per his Instagram status.
