So Anushka and Virat finally tied the knot earlier today and, in the process, gave India the bit of feel-good news that we didn't know we needed.
And while it may seem abrupt to some, their marriage was ~technically~ teased to us in the Manyavar wedding collection ad that the couple starred in a few weeks ago.
Predictably, a lot of the jokes about the wedding have landed on this common theme...
OMG! #VirushkaWEDDING ho gaya! Plis send gifts!
That the Manyavar ad should have been adequate warning for us all.
Manyavar ka ad was a spoiler y'all. @imVkohli @AnushkaSharma
A lot of people aren't sure whether this is real or just a very elaborate marketing gimmick.
Not sure if legit pictures or Manyavar ad campaign
Hoping #VirushkaWEDDING really happened and it is not a giant advertisement of a new collection of Manyavar and Mo… https://t.co/1CuVmp8rJj
Others aren't really all that doubtful, and have assumed these are just behind-the-scenes leaks from the next ad.
These Manyavar ads are getting a little too unrealistic. #VirushkaWEDDING
Calm Down Twitter, this is just a Manyavar advertisement. #VirushkaWEDDING
Though the marriage has been confirmed but those pictures appear to be from the manyavar ad.
And some are just busy congratulating the company for landing such an amazing marketing coup.
Also congratulations to @Manyavar_ for a well orchestrated and directed ad campaign.
Manyavar's ad billboards for the next 2 years #VirushkaWEDDING
Of course, the most important question was raised by those who realised the couple weren't actually wearing Manyavar outfits for the ceremony.
So Virat wore Sabyasachi and not Manyavar? 🤔
#Virushka in Sabyasachi, great promotion for Manyavar!😬
But, you know what, if that ad did tell us one thing, it's that it's not really the clothes that matter, it's the people wearing them.
I'm gonna be very disappoint if Anushka and Virat's wedding vows weren't similar to the Manyavar Mohe ad
