In an old interview with Vogue, Anushka Sharma stressed the importance of keeping her wedding a private event. The actress shared that both Virat and she wanted a small, ‘home-style’ wedding which would have nothing to do with their ‘celebrity’ status. The couple is, to date, credited for starting the trend of destination weddings away from the public. 

Speaking to Vogue at the time, Anushka Sharma shared, “We wanted to have a home-style wedding. There were only 42 people there, with all our friends and family present. I wanted it to be about Virat and me marrying each other, and not this big celebrity wedding. The energy at our wedding was blessed.” She also recalled using fake names when speaking to caterers and other vendors. She added,  "We even used fake names while talking to the caterer; I think Virat's was Rahul." For their D-day, the couple opted for Sabyasachi Mukherjee outfits and their meeting with the designer before the event was also kept confidential.
