Is Anushka Sharma heading out of the country with family to wed Virat Kohli?

The past few days have witnessed murmurs of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's impending wedding ceremony, growing louder. And the recent development might just confirm the rumours about the actor-cricketer couple tying the knot in Italy.

In the wee hours of Friday morning, Sharma was caught by mid-day's photographer, at the Mumbai international airport, as she headed to an undisclosed destination. Accompanying her were her parents Ajay Kumar and Ashima Sharma, and brother Karnesh. While cynics may dismiss it as another family vacation, what is to be noted is the size of their bags -- we can't help but wonder if they held an elaborate bridal trousseau.

mid-day had reported yesterday that Sharma's father invited the star's neighbours at Badrinath Tower in Versova. He apparently requested them to keep the matter hush-hush. But after they were snapped at the airport, is the cat out of the bag?
