Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli shared a touching note on social media to celebrate wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma’s birthday on May 1. Taking to Instagram, Kohli posted a candid picture of the couple with a heartfelt caption:
“To my best friend, my life partner, my safe space, my best half, my everything. You’re the guiding light of all of our lives. We love you so much more every day. Happy birthday, my love.”
The couple, married since 2017, have become one of India’s most admired celebrity pairs. Anushka, who debuted in Bollywood in 2009, and Kohli, the face of Indian cricket over the past decade, have often supported each other both personally and professionally.
They are parents to two children—daughter Vamika, born in 2021, and son Akaay, welcomed last year.
While Anushka enjoys a break from films to focus on family, Kohli is currently playing in the IPL 2025 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The franchise, which has never lifted the coveted IPL trophy despite being part of the league since its inception, is aiming for a historic turnaround this season.
RCB sits atop the points table with 14 points from 10 matches and are strong contenders for a top-two finish—offering them a second chance at reaching the final through the playoffs.
As Kohli remains focused on leading RCB to a potential maiden title, his personal life remains a source of balance and strength, with his love and admiration for Anushka shining through on this special occasion.
