It’s time to flood Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma with congratulatory messages as the couple embraced parenthood with the arrival of their first child. Yes, baby Virushka is here!
Even though the year has just started but we can say this without a second thought that this is the best news of 2021. Ever since “And then, we were three! Arriving Jan 2021” popped up on our timeline, we have been eagerly waiting for 2021 to arrive. After several pregnancy speculations and clarifications over the two-and-a-half-years of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s married life, Virushka had finally delighted their fans with the news of their pregnancy. From cheering for her husband on the stands of the stadium, completing professional commitments before her maternity leave, taking maternity fashion goals to the next level, working out during pregnancy to him applying for paternity leave and not caring of the trolls who targeted him for not being there for Team India, Virat and Anushka had made the most this phase together.

Virat had posted a group picture and a picture with his oh-so-beautiful wife, Anushka, the pregnant Mrs Sharma had posted two loved-up pictures with her darling husband. While Virat had captioned the pictures as “Friends who test negative together spend positive time together! Nothing like a get together at home with friends in a safe environment. May this year bring a lot of hope, joy, happiness and good health. Stay safe! #HappyNewYear2021”, Anushka had written, “Wishing you all bountiful of love, happiness and prosperity this new year.

Ahead of her due date, Anushka Sharma had posted a Boomerang on her IG stories, giving a glimpse of her workout session.

Remember on What Women Want, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shamila Tagore had expressed their concern on the media attention on Taimur Ali Khan and the latter had said that once Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma will have a child, baby Tim will be relegated? Media attention on babies concerns every celeb parent but looks like Virat and Anushka have already made a decision on the same. Anushka had posed for Vogue’s cover, the pictures of which were released on December 30, 2020, and just like all of us, her hubby, Virat was left in awe of his ‘beautiful’ wife. When Anushka had posted a picture, flaunting her baby bump and pregnancy glow, Virat had dropped a lovely comment for his wife, “Beautiful”. Anushka had captioned her post as “Capturing this for myself, for life!”
For the interview with the Vogue, Anushka Sharma had revealed that her parents are extremely honest and very hard-working, the attributes that Virat Kohli shares as well. On how they want to nurture their child and not raise brats, Anushka had said, “There are so many similarities in the way we are as people and the way we approach life. So, I do think that will work for us. I’ve been thinking about it before I even became a parent. Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats.”
Unequivocal about retaining a sense of normalcy and privacy, Anushka Sharma had continued, “We’ve thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don’t plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it’s a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It’s hard enough for adults to deal with it. It’s going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through.” (Don't Miss: Ishqbaaaz' Fame, Nakuul Mehta's Pregnant Wife, Jankee Flaunts Her Baby Bump In A White Monokini)
