Here’s why Anushka Sharma & Virat Kohli won’t attend Sonam Kapoor’s wedding

Sonam Kapoor is all set to tie the knot with her beau Anand Ahuja on 8th May. There have been many reports regarding which Bollywood stars will be attending this wedding and which ones will give it a miss due to their work commitments and personal reasons.

While Jacqueline Fernandez, Arjun Kapoor, and Karan Johar are gearing up for the wedding, our lovely couple, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli will give the wedding a miss due to their jam-packed schedules.

According to our sources, Anushka Sharma will soon fly to the states for the shoot of her upcoming film ‘Zero’ due to which she will not be able to make it to the wedding. On the other hand, Virat Kohli will be busy with his IPL match on the same day.

Apart from these two, there have been reports of Priyanka Chopra, Farah Khan, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone not attending this big fat wedding. According to reports, Priyanka Chopra will be walking down the red carpet at the Met Gala 2018 on May 7 in New York which is why she is unlikely to be present for Sonam’s wedding on May 8.

The Kapoors and Ahujas released a joint statement on May 1 confirming the wedding date. The statement read:

“The Kapoor & Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam & Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai. Since it is an intimate affair, we request you to respect the family’s need for privacy. Thank you for all your blessings and love, as we celebrate this special moment in our lives.”
