After maintaining silence over the status of their relationship, looks like Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma are finally looking to settle down in the New Year.
According to a report in Pradesh 18, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are going to get engaged on January 1, 2017.
The report suggests the engagment ceremony is likely to take place at Hotel Ananda, Narendra Nagar in Uttarakhand.
According to the report, several big-wigs, both from Bollywood and cricket fraternity, including Bachchans, Ambanis and Kapoors, are expected to attend the engagement ceremony.
Anushka Sharma's close friends and family members are reportedly already staying at the venue and the preparations for the big day have begun.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have not released any official statement so far.
Anushka Sharma was spotted with Virat Kohli at Dehradun airport on Saturday.
The lovebirds were headed to Narendra Nagar in the Tehri Garhwal district. Virat Kohli is the brand ambassador of Uttarakhand and this is his first visit to the state after the announcement in April this year.

Though actresses dating cricketers is not new, Virushka became one of the most talked about couples in recent times. They first met in 2013 while shooting for a commercial and soon rumours of them being a couple started doing the rounds. They stuck to the "good friends" stance until a year ago. In February 2014, Anushka-Virat were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Auckland where India was playing against New Zealand. Later that year, the actress admitted to dating the young Test captain. Ever since, the duo has been spotted together, holidaying or visiting each other's houses. He even stood up for her when she was blamed for his poor batting performance.
