  • PIC: Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma Invite PM Narendra Modi To Their Wedding Party

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met newly-married Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and his Bollywood actress wife Anushka Sharma and congratulated the couple.

 

Along with the couple, Kohli's brother Vikas was also present during the meet.

 

"Captain of the Indian cricket team @imVkohli and noted actor @AnushkaSharma met PM @narendramodi this evening. The Prime Minister congratulated them on their wedding," said PMO's Twitter handle in a caption accompanying a picture of the meeting.

 

Virat and Anushka, who tied the knot at a picturesque location in Italy on December 11, will host two receptions -- in New Delhi on December 21 and in Mumbai on December 26.

 
 
 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the reception of former India spinner Harbhajan Singh’s wedding with actor Geeta Basra in the Capital in November 2015.

 

On Wednesday, Kohli dethroned Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to become the most valuable celebrity brand in the country, with a brand value of USD 144 million registering a growth of 56 per cent from last year, according to a report.

 

This increase is primarily driven by his growing endorsement fees, on-field performances and rise in popularity index, according to the Duff & Phelps report Rise of the Millennials: India’s Most Valuable Celebrity Brands.

 

“For the first time since we began publishing our rankings, Shah Rukh Khan has slipped from the top ranking and been replaced by Virat Kohli. Kohli is now the first choice of brands to engage and attract consumers, fuelled by his extraordinary on-field performances and off-field charisma,” Duff & Phelps managing director and region leader - India, Japan and Southeast Asia Varun Gupta said.
