Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli’s wedding: Shoojit Sircar and Vir Das give befitting response to MLA who questioned Virushka’s patriotism

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot on December 11 in Tuscany. The wedding of the couple took the country into a frenzy and their nuptial was addressed as 'Wedding Of The Year'.

Shoojit Sircar and Vir Das support Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli over BJP MLA comment.

After a Madhya Pradesh BJP MLA Pannalal Shakya got offended with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s dreamy Italy wedding and called them ‘unpatriotic’ for marrying in Italy and not India, people from Bollywood fraternity turned up in support of the newlyweds. Pink director Shoojit Sircar said the next time the “unpatriotic” Virat will hit a six in the cricket ground it will be in the name of that BJP MLA.

Shoojit took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “Next time @imVkohli hits his unpatriotic 1st sixer out of the park it will be in the name of that patriotic MLA.” Not only Shoojit, comedian-actor Vir Das also mocked the MLA and called him an ‘MLA of no consequence’. He tweeted, “Ok. New rule. Anytime an MLA of no consequence says something incredibly ignorant and stupid…the news channels that carry it and make it trend are fined money. What say?”
