Anushka praises Virat’s gesture
Actress Anushka Sharma lauded her husband and India cricket captain Virat Kohli for stopping Indian fans from booing former Australia captain Steve Smith during their World Cup match in London on Sunday.
“Aggressive player, benevolent man — so easy to love,” Anushka posted on social media along with a news snippet of Virat’s act.
Virat expressed sympathy for Smith and apologised on behalf of the Indian crowd during the match.
‘Retirement is a tough decision to make. Not easy to hold back your tears. You (Yuvraj Singh) have seen the highest highs and the lowest lows. Seen you from really close quarters. You are and will always be my favourite cricketer and friend. Have a blessed life. Thank you Jersey number 12, what an innings.’

Danny’s Yesterday to be released
Yesterday, a film inspired by The Beatles and directed by Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle, will release in India on July 12.
Based on Jack Barth’s story, the film’s screenplay has been penned by Richard Curtis.
“One of our producers came to me with Jack Barth’s idea, a story about a musician who remembers The Beatles’ music in a world where no one else does. I loved the idea, and at that point told them I didn’t want to read the script... as I would like a crack at it myself,” said Curtis.
The film stars actor Himesh Patel in the lead as Jack Malik alongside actress Lily James.
