Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are not just one of the most loved celebrity couples in India — they are also known for how thoughtfully they handle their family and parenting roles.
Their love story began in 2013 during a commercial shoot, and they soon became a fan-favorite couple. They got married in a beautiful ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, in December 2017. Since then, their family has grown with the birth of their daughter Vamika in January 2021 and their son Akaay in February 2024.
Parenting as a Team
In an old interview with Vogue, Anushka spoke about how she and Virat share parenting responsibilities. She said they don’t see it as just “mum and dad duties” but as a family effort. Anushka believes it’s important for their children to grow up with a balanced mindset, especially since Virat travels a lot for cricket. That makes family time even more important for them.
Kids Learn by Watching
Anushka also talked about how children learn by observing their parents. She said that times have changed, and kids now look up to their parents as role models. Both she and Virat work, and while it can be challenging, they try to manage things efficiently.
Keeping Their Kids Away from the Spotlight
Unlike many celebrity couples, Anushka and Virat avoid posting pictures of their children on social media. They want to give their kids a normal childhood, away from the public eye. Anushka said that they’ve thought about it carefully and feel that their children should decide later in life if they want to be on social media. She added that no child should be made to feel more special than others just because their parents are famous.
Taking a Break from Work
Anushka was last seen in a cameo in the film Qala, which was released on OTT. Since then, she has been focusing on motherhood and spending quality time with her family.
