Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s 2017 wedding was a beautiful and intimate affair cherished by fans worldwide. However, behind the scenes, the couple faced unexpected challenges that nearly disrupted their special day. Vishal Punjabi, famously known as The Wedding Filmer, recently revealed the untold story of how heavy rain forced a last-minute venue change, causing chaos for the entire wedding planning team.
### The Wedding Chaos: Rain Forces Last-Minute Venue Shift
In an exclusive interview with Adhunika Singh on her YouTube channel, Vishal Punjabi disclosed that rain rained out the original wedding plan, compelling the organizers to move the mandap location unexpectedly. Punjabi shared, “Virat and Anushka’s wedding was rained out. They shifted the location at the last minute. Devika Narain didn’t sleep all night.”
Devika Narain, the wedding planner, worked tirelessly overnight to manage the sudden shift. Despite the chaos, both Anushka and Virat fully trusted Narain’s expertise and taste to keep the event flawless.
### Behind the Scenes: A Secretive and Intimate Celebration
Interestingly, Punjabi revealed that he wasn’t informed about the identity of the wedding couple until he arrived at the venue. “It was all kept under wraps. But you kind of figure out that it might be them. They trusted their planners, who trusted us,” he said. “It was a very small wedding, and it felt like everyone was together.”
### A Unique Experience: Spirituality and Love in the Air
Reflecting on his experience filming the wedding, Punjabi remarked, “They were really nice to me, they were really kind to me. They gave me space. I felt a certain level of Sufism at the wedding. There was a divine love for God’s spirituality and for each other. And it felt divine.”
### The Wedding Setting: A Close-Knit Gathering in Tuscany
In an earlier podcast interview with Shivani Pau, Punjabi spoke about the wedding’s cozy and intimate nature. “A small gathering in Tuscany is doable. That’s what Virat Kohli did. Cricket is a religion in India, and he’s a god. He and Anushka got married in Tuscany. It was really beautiful.”
He added, “The closest family and friends—only 40 of them, including mum, dad, makeup artists, and us. They smashed the wedding.”
### The Couple’s Journey: From Private Romance to Family Life
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first met in 2013 during the shooting of a television commercial. Though their romance blossomed quickly, they kept their relationship private. The couple married in 2017 in an intimate ceremony in Italy.
Since then, their family has grown with the arrival of their daughter, Vamika, born in January 2021, and their son, Akaay, born in 2024.
### Vishal Punjabi’s Notable Work
Vishal Punjabi has also filmed weddings for other prominent couples, including Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan, as well as Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, earning a reputation as one of the most sought-after wedding filmmakers in the industry.
