After innumerous pregnancy speculations and several clarifications over two-and-a-half-years of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s married life, the lovebirds had finally made their fans feel over the moon with the announcement of their pregnancy. On the professional front, Anushka hasn’t signed any projects as an actor since Zero (2018), but had ventured as a producer and had made her digital debut with Paatal Lok and Bulbbul. Anushka not signing any film had also become a reason for the gossip mills to churn her pregnancy speculations in 2019, which she had clarified later.
Baby on board! Finding out that you are soon going to be a mommy is a feeling that takes time to sink in. And for your partner too, the feelings aren’t different.

Virat expressed, “It is an incredible feeling. It puts things into perspective for you. It is a beautiful feeling. It is difficult to describe how you feel, but when we found it, we were over the moon. When we announced, the kind of love that was showered on us it was amazing. People were genuinely so emotional and happy for us. We are looking forward to the third member joining the clan.”
