Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma got married in a private ceremony in Italy on Monday. The news may have come as a surprise to some, as there was no prior announcement, but to some media organisations speculating about it for weeks and staking out airports, it was another opportunity for a news break.
The irony in calling a pre-arranged event ‘breaking news’ notwithstanding, there were a slew of news reports on the ceremony, their outfits, the menu, astrology and even a marketing case study.
And as is the trend on Twitter, there was a flood of jokes and memes of the “#VirushkaWedding”. At times, it was tough to distinguish which was funnier – the news stories or Twitter jokes. So here’s a list of the best, and funniest, of both. Spot the difference!
So many Manyavar jokes!
