    Discussing Love Aaj Kal, Saba revealed that she turned down the part because Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of the lead character overwhelmed her.

    Saba expressed, “I told her, since Deepika Padukone is in the film, I would end up as the second lead character and no one would even notice me, so I decided not to take on that role.”
    “After the film was released, I watched it with friends and realized it was a mistake not to take the role,” she added.

    After the World Cup final on Saturday night, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from the T20 format. However, he will continue to play Tests and ODIs. He scored 76 runs off 59 balls against South Africa in the last match and was declared the player of the final.

    Indian media has said that since Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli became parents to their second child, Akay Kohli, the couple is considering moving to London before the birth of their second child. The couple spent a lot of time in London and decided to give birth there.

    They spent almost two months in London and stayed away from cricket even after the birth of Akay. Sources close to him say that Virat will now stay permanently in the UK.
