The Virushka wedding fever still has the nation in its grip. After an intimate wedding in Tuscany and a grand reception in Delhi, that was also attended by the likes of PM Modi, the celebrations continue with a Mumbai reception in the Astor Ballroom of St. Regis.
While the Delhi reception was graced by Indian cricketers like Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Gautam Gambhir, the Mumbai reception will see the bigwigs of Bollywood and cricket.
Right from their environment-friendly invites with saplings to the anthology of Rumi poems as return gifts, the couple seems to have invested great thought in all the functions. They made sure that all the events reflected the spirit of their companionship and their personalities.
After the Mumbai reception, Virat and Anushka are expected to head to South Africa where Virushka will spend the New Year. Anushka will then return to Mumbai to start her shoot for Anand L. Rai’s next film. Virat will stay back in South Africa for the Test match series that start on January 5.
The venue of the pillar-less Astor Ballroom, with a capacity for about 300 guests, gets spruced up, ahead of the Virushka reception.
