Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding in Tuscany in 2017 is still remembered as one of the most beautiful celebrity weddings. Everything looked perfect in the pictures, but not many people know that rain almost spoiled their big day.
Vishal Punjabi, known as ‘The Wedding Filmer,’ shared that it rained heavily just before the ceremony. Because of this, the wedding setup had to be changed at the last minute. Wedding planner Devika Narain stayed awake the whole night to shift and rebuild the mandap at another spot.
Heavy rain ceated last minute chaos
Sharing the BTS chaos on Adhunika Singh’s YouTube channel, Vishal said, “Virat and Anushka’s wedding was rained out. They shifted the location at the last minute. Devika Narain (wedding planner) didn’t sleep all night. She spent the whole night shifting the mandap.”
Despite the last-minute scramble, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma stayed relaxed and completely trusted the planners. Vishal revealed, “It was all kept under wraps. But you kind of figure out that it may be them, but you only know when you get there. We got there, and we were very pleasantly surprised. It’s not like they knew of me, or knew of my work. They were just inherently very nice, sweet people.”
He added that Anushka and Virat made him feel welcome and gave him full freedom to capture the day. “I met them, and they smiled and said, ‘Please do what you do. We don’t know what you do, but we believe that if you’re here, you’ve done it right.’ They trusted their planners, who trusted us. It was a very small wedding, and it felt like everyone was together. They were really nice to me, they were really kind to me,” Vishal said.
