Haven't heard of Anushka and Virat? The Bollywood actress and cricketer are only the India's Posh and Becks. The pair who married in December last year, have delighted fans with social media snaps and PDA's.

Virat's tributes to Anushka are all about sharing how he feels about her and what she means to him.
"The person that inspires me to push forward despite all obstacles. The person that guides me to do the right thing in life against all odds. The person that has changed me inside out and made me realise the power of true love. My strength. My soulmate," he wrote on Instagram in 2016 when the pair was courting.
