On Virat Kohli's birthday, wife Anushka Sharma pens a letter, 'says nobody can pick themselves up from a dark place like you'

Cricketer Virat Kohli turns a year older today as he celebrates his 33rd birthday. On the occasion, his wife Anushka Sharma wrote an emotional letter for Team India captain, praising him for his honesty and courage.

The Bollywood actress took to her official Instagram account and shared a picture with her husband as she wrote a lengthy note in the caption. Sharma wished her husband by applauding how he grows better in every way by not holding on to things and also called him fearless.

The 'Sultan' star said nobody can pick themselves up from a dark place like Kohli. "Your core is made of honesty and guts of steel . Courage that pales doubt into oblivion . I know no one who can pick themselves up from a dark place like you can . You grow better in every way because you hold on to nothing in you as permanent and are fearless," Sharma wrote.


The actress further revealed the reason behind making this emotional birthday letter to hubby Kohli public because she wants to "scream and tell the world what an amazing man" he is.

"I know we are not ones to talk to each other through social media like this but sometimes I just want to scream and tell the world what an amazing man you are. Fortunate are those who really truly know you," Sharma added.
