Celebrity chef Harsh Dixit recently, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, spoke about how he prepared 'Pho', a Vietnamese dish, for the couple for their anniversary dinner in 2019, which generally has chicken and beef in the broth but 'with a twist.'

Did Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli Eat ‘Snakes’ for Anniversary Dinner? Check Truth Behind Viral Fake News Claiming There Was 'Chicken and Beef' in The Broth They Had

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, contrary to the viral fake news, did not eat 'snakes' and neither did their food, which had a broth, contain 'chicken and beef'. In his viral interview, chef Harsh Dixit said, "You have to keep things interesting. For Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's anniversary in December 2019, I made Pho, 'but with a twist'. Furthermore, he also revealed that the dish Pho contains snakes and how he turned the food vegetarian by using 'snake' gourd instead. Who is Naeem Amin With Whom Virat Kohli Trained?

"There's chicken and beef in the broth. But they were eating gluten-free at the time, so we went with rice noodles, which are traditional in Pho and gluten-free. Vietnamese cuisine includes a lot of snake — snake wine, even snake meat. So, how about serving ‘snakes' to vegans? Snake gourd was the star," he stated while sharing how he prepared the vegan dish and what was included in it. "It was stewed with peanuts, coconut, tofu, a bit of coriander, then smoked. The dish included water chestnut, enoki mushrooms, and chillies, all in a lemongrass-ginger-coriander root broth. A chilli oil was served on the side." It can be concluded that the claim of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma eating 'snakes' and the broth in their food containing 'chicken and beef' is totally false.
