Anushka Sharma Flies To Italy. Will She Come Back Married To Virat Kohli?

Mumbai, Dec 8: Actress Anushka Sharma was spotted leaving Mumbai in the wee hours of Thursday night with her family.

 The 29-year-old actress has flown to Italy - the big question is, will she return as Mrs Virat Kohli, as some reports have hopefully suggested? Earlier this week, Twitter exploded with rumours that Anushka and Virat, who have been dating for several years, were planning to get married in Italy in the second week of December.

A spokesperson for Anushka told news agency soon after that "there is absolutely no truth to it (rumours of marriage)." Subsequent reports suggested that the trip to Italy was strictly a vacation. Sources have now said that there is a chance Anushka and Virat will marry in Italy sometime between December 10 and 12 and perhaps follow it up with a reception in Mumbai later in the month.

Anushka Sharma was photographed at Mumbai airport last night with her parents, Colonel Ajay Kumar and Ashima Sharma, and her brother Karnesh, with whom Anushka co-owns the production house Clean Slate Films.

Anushka was dressed in denims and tee with an oversized trench coat. Her family members (carrying multiple bulky bags) were mobbed by the shutterbugs and mediapersons, curious for an update on the family's travel destination and purpose.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli met while filming a commercial in 2013 and soon started dating. They were spotted together at locations where Virat was playing a match and in 2014, they acknowledged the romance, telling the press that they were 'two young people in a relationship.' Since then, a rumoured and brief break-up notwithstanding, Anushka and Virat have been a couple very publicly, posting Valentine's Day messages on social media and attending parties together.

Rumours of their December wedding first rocked the Internet in November but like this time, at that time too Anushka Sharma's manager set the record straight and had told NDTV: "These are just rumours doing the rounds. No truth to it."

Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra secretly married in Italy some years ago so there is precedent, at least, for social media to get all worked up.

Anushka Sharma was last seen in Jab Harry Met Sejal and she is currently filming Aanand L Rai's untitled film, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. She has also signed up for Yash Raj Films' Sui Dhaaga and her own production Pari.

Mumbai, Jun 8: Veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar has won the 2020 Richard Dawkins Award for critical thinking, holding religious dogma up to scrutiny, advancing human progress and humanist values.

Akhtar has become the first Indian to be given the honour, which recognises a distinguished individual from the field of science, scholarship, education, or entertainment, who publicly proclaims the values of secularism and rationalism and upholding scientific truth.

Akhtar's wife, veteran actor Shabana Azmi said the award's relevance becomes more prominent especially in the current times when secularism is under attack.

"I am thrilled. I know what a hero Richard Dawkins has been for Javed. The award gains all the more significant because in today’s time when secularism is being attacked by religious fundamentalists of all hues, this award comes as a validation of Javed’s long service to rational thinking," Azmi told PTI.

Dia said Akhtar's win is a proud moment for rhe country.

"Javed Akhtar Saab has won the prestigious Richard Dawkins Award 2020 for critical thinking, holding religious dogma upto scrutiny, advancing human progress and humanist values. He is the only Indian to have won this award! @Javedakhtarjadu Congratulations! You make us proud," Dia wrote.

Chennai, Jul 30: Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday said he and his family members have tested positive for coronavirus and are currently quarantined at home.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.

Andhra Pradesh witnessed its worst single day spike of coronavirus on Wednesday, 10,000 plus cases, as the other southern states, including Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also reported high daily numbers, although they saw a dip in the infections.

The cumulative tally of southern states — AP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry was 24,855 on Wednesday.
