The best thing about Anushka Sharma and beau Virat Kohli's relationship is that they never conceal or hide their feelings. Instead, they openly express their heart out on social media.

The hidden message

AnushkaSharma1588 is what the 'Jab Tak hai Jaan' actress goes by on the picture and video sharing platform. Now, this 1588 is what might seem like a puzzle to many but a deep thought might light the bulb. '88' is the year that Anushka was born and not only her, but husband Kohli too was born the same year.

The'1' and '5' in the username depict the birthdates of Anushka and Virat respectively. Another interpretation could simply be solely Anushka's birth date as she was born on May 1, 1988.

The actress has creatively done a number play and it rests on the onlooker as to what they decode.
