Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, it seems are painting Cape Town in all hues of love. The couple were spotted with Khiladi Akshay Kumar who was tucking into some local delicacies with the newly weds at a quaint eatery in Cape Town.

Seems like it was a large and glittering Indian contingent chilling out away from the limelight in SA. Later, Virat and Anushka Sharma were also spotted shopping in South Africa. They caught up with cricket buddy Shikhar Dhawan and his family as well. The couple who honeymooned in Finland, is in South Africa for the Indian skipper’s cricket series. Shikhar Dhawan’s wife Aesha Dhawan posted a series of photos with Virat and Anushka as they went sight-seeing around Cape Town.
