India's batting sensation Virat Kohli finally had to spill the beans, as Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan tricked him into revealing the name of his Lady Love.
Shah Rukh conducted a mock Swayamwar, wherein Kohli was asked to select his potential bride during the Pepsi Indian Premier League Gala Dinner at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday night.

Kohli, who is reportedly dating Anushka Sharma, was given choices, but, yes, you got it correct, he finally selected the Bollywood actress.
Interestingly, Swayamvar is the ancient Indian practice where a girl chooses her husband from among a list of suitors. In this case, though, Shah Rukh successfully tricked Kohli into getting him to reveal his relationship with Anushka and made him wear a huge picture of hers on his neck.

The couple was also reported to have been spotted by some fans walking around in Auckland holding hands during India's tour of New Zealand earlier this year.
However, both have preferred to keep their relationship under wraps.
Kohli, who is leading Royal Challengers Bangalore in the seventh edition of the IPL, also shook a leg with Shah Rukh during the event.
