While Virat and Anushka are giving us couple goals, they often get targeted by haters and trollers. We still remember there was a time when Anushka was trolled for Virat's poor performance and later for getting special treatment from the board of Indian cricket team. However, she had kept silence for a long time, but on October 31, 2019, she had bared her heart in an open letter which she had posted on her official Instagram account. She had shared a picture, wherein she had written, "I have always been of the opinion that maintaining silence on false & fabricated news and stories against one are the best way to deal with your detractors. This is how I have handled my career for 11 years now. I always saw the dignity & truth embedded in the shadow of my silence. They say a lie so many times repeatedly that it starts to look like the truth and I am afraid this is what has been happening with me. My silence has made the lies spitted against me seem true but that ends today." (Also Read: Himanshi Khurana Reveals The Reason Behind Ending 9 Year Old Relationship With Beau, Chow To Asim)
She had further written, "I have stayed quiet through all the times I was blamed for the performance of my then-boyfriend. now husband Virat and continue to take the blames for the most baseless things involving Indian cricket. I kept quiet then. My name has been used in fabricated stories claiming that I am part of closed-door team meetings and influenced selection processes and I have kept silent. My name has been wrongfully used to say how I have been given preferential treatment or how I have overstayed my authorised time with my husband on foreign tours which if anyone really cared about finding facts from the boards. would know that I have always and always followed protocol but yet. I kept quiet."
She had concluded her note with the words, "Today, I have decided to speak up because someone's silence cannot be taken as their weakness. I am not and will I not be a pawn to be used by anyone's thoughts or beliefs or agendas and next time you want to use my name to discredit someone or the board or even my husband, do it with facts and proof & leave me OUT of it. I have led my life. built my own career with the utmost dignity and I am not going to compromise that for anything. Maybe, it's hard for some to believe that, because, I am a self-made, independent woman who only happens to be the wife of a cricketer and for the records. I drink coffee."
Earlier, in an interview with the Filmfare magazine, Anushka had talked about her marriage and had shared, "I feel so happy when people say that. If the happiest moment in your life can make others so happy, it makes me feel so blessed. We wanted to keep it genuine. We didn’t want it to be adulterated and touched by anything, which would remind us that we’re celebrities. We were with our parents and our siblings, who’ve sacrificed so much for us, our closest friends, who’ve supported us through our worst."
