“There is no issue that he has got married in abroad, it is his choice but for a honeymoon the most beautiful place which is called ‘Heaven on Earth’ is Kashmir.”
Srinagar: A Kashmiri BJP leader has questioned Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma’s honeymoon destination choice.
Rafiq Wani, a BJP leader from Anantnag, said that “We have such a huge country of 125 crores citizen. If he wanted to get married he could have got married here.”
“There is no issue that he has got married in abroad, it is his choice, but for a honeymoon the most beautiful place which is called ‘Heaven on Earth’ is Kashmir. So they should have had their honeymoon here. Then our tourism would have also got a boost,” Wani said.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma got married at a private ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, last week.
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala later took a swipe at the BJP, saying young men and women should seek approval of the saffron party before getting married or deciding on the venue.
Out-of-favour India opener Gautam Gambhir today said politicians shouldn’t meddle into personal affairs of anyone, a day after national cricket team captain Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were criticised by a BJP MLA for marrying in Italy.
Reacting on the issue, Gambhir asked politicians to refrain from commenting on anyone’s personal life.
“It is completely their personal matter and choice and nobody should comment on this. Politicians should be more careful while making such comments,” Gambhir told ‘Timesnow’ channel.
Gambhir’s remarks came a day after a BJP legislator in Madhya Pradesh, Pannalal questioned the patriotism of Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma for not getting married in India.
