“Everything Was Destroyed a Day Before the Wedding,” Reveals Virat and Anushka’s Videographer
Mumbai: A surprising behind-the-scenes story from **Virat Kohli** and **Anushka Sharma’s** 2017 wedding in Italy has recently come to light — their dreamy ceremony was almost ruined just a day before it took place.
According to the wedding’s videographer, **Vishal Punjabi**, a torrential downpour destroyed the entire wedding setup, forcing the organizers to change the venue overnight.
> “Everything we had prepared for the wedding — the entire mandap — was destroyed in the rain the night before,” revealed Vishal in a recent interview. “The wedding planner, **Devika Narain**, stayed up all night and worked tirelessly to move the entire setup to another location before morning.”
Despite the chaos, Vishal said **Virat and Anushka remained completely calm**, as they had full faith in their wedding team. Interestingly, the couple never saw the mandap before the ceremony, trusting the planners entirely with the arrangements.
> “When I arrived on the wedding day, neither Virat nor Anushka knew who I was or what kind of work I did,” Vishal shared. “But they greeted me warmly and said, ‘We don’t know what you do, but if you’re here, we’re sure you must be good at it.’”
Calling the experience “unforgettable,” Vishal described the event as a **small, intimate wedding** filled with warmth and kindness.
> “They were both incredibly genuine and loving people. They trusted everyone involved and gave us complete creative freedom,” he added.
The revelation highlights the couple’s calm and composed nature during stressful moments — a trait that made their **Italian wedding one of the most talked-about celebrity events** in Bollywood history, still remembered fondly by fans today.
