'I felt like a fool' - When Virat Kohli cracked a PJ on Anushka Sharma

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are arguably one of the most celebrated celebrity couples in India. The two of them have often been termed as "Couple Goals" by their fans. They tied the knot after dating for several years.

It is to be noted that the duo met each other for the first time during an ad shoot. It was a shoot of a commercial for a shampoo back in 2013. Kohli recently drew light on the same and spoke about the things that happened the first time they met each other.

During a conversation on Graham Bensinger’s show ‘In Depth with Graham Bensinger, the 33-year-old said that he was pretty nervous on the sets as he had to share the screen with a well-renowned superstar like Anushka. He also stated that he cracked a bad joke and was nervous about the same. He mentioned that he, later on, realized that it wasn't really a good thing to do. The joke was about Anushka's height.

 Anushka was asked to wear low heels as she was going to share the screen with Kohli, who isn't as tall as her. Despite wearing low heels, she looked taller than him and this prompted the batting maestro to crack a joke. He even stated that he felt like a "fool" for cracking that joke.

“She walked in and was looking taller than me. I said, 'Didn't you get a higher pair of heels than these?' She was like, 'Excuse me?', I said, 'I am just joking!' My joke actually became a weird moment for myself. I behaved like a fool, to be honest," said Virat Kohli, while narrating the incident. Although their first meeting had this awkward moment, they did go on to become a power couple in the near future.

They got married in 2017, in Italy. However, the couple have always tried to keep their married life as personal as they can and have maintained their secrecy. Anushka is often seen cheering for Kohli in the stands. They have a daughter named "Vamika" as well.
