It was a hush-hush wedding, attended only by close friends and family. As breathtaking as Anushka looked Virat, however, stole the show with his at ease attitude and charm and women all over the country got their hearts broken.
The couple first met on the sets of a shampoo commercial in 2013 and since then there has been no turning back. The journey was not smooth all along, there were turbulences but as they say, true love conquers all and here they are five years later tying the knot. Recent images of their honeymoon and reception invites have been flooding social media.
While we congratulate Virat and Anushka on starting a new chapter in their life and thank them for showing us that fairytales do come true we cannot ignore the fact that journalistic principles have been compromised with to a large extent in order to cover the story.

It seems that in this age of breaking news syndrome selling the story has taken precedence over adhering to the ethics of the profession. The first and foremost principle of journalism is to inform the citizens about the concrete issues that affect the country. But what reporters do today to sell a story is they make it more salacious and sensationalize the event that was very evident in this case.
The couple wanted a private wedding and everyone has the right to their own space, but reporters went the length and breadth of the world to get inside details of their wedding. They went as far as to interview the guards of the venue to get some details.

The news of their marriage does not concern the country, had it not come out nobody’s life would have been affected in any way. A small story somewhere in the entertainment section of the papers would have been just fine. The event is surely not front-page worthy.
