Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding in Italy and their receptions in Delhi and Mumbai were a surprise for all their fans. But, in a recent chat, veteran Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan, who also performed at the Delhi reception of the celebrity couple, shared that he was also in for a surprise at the function as he had no clue that he was going to perform at the cricketer’s wedding. Maan recalled that he was feeling left out as he wasn’t invited for the reception but little did he know that Virat had planned it that way.
Talking to Mashable India, Gurdas Maan shared, “Virat loves me. That day, I was thinking that Virat has called everyone but even though he loves me, he hasn’t called me. Because I didn’t know (that I was going to perform there). I just knew that I had a performance in Delhi but I didn’t know that it was for his reception.”
He added, “Virat had already said that this is a surprise. The organisers were specifically told not to tell Gurdas Maan. He should only know once he reaches the venue. And here I was thinking that he hasn’t called me, and I was completely surprised. After that I started singing.” Gurdas recalled the songs he performed at the reception and shared that Virat was translating the Punjabi lyrics in Anushka Sharma’s ear. At the time, videos from the reception were widely shared on social media.
Gurdas Maan shared that it was a lot of fun and recalled that after this wedding, whenever he performed at weddings in Delhi, people requested him to perform the same set that he did at Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding.
Earlier this year, Anushka and Virat welcomed their second child – son Akaay. They welcomed their first child – daughter Vamika – in 2021.
