Everyone would readily agree to the fact that the year 2020 is a real bummer. It almost seemed like January, February and March were not just months but three different years! Starting with deadly bushfires, hailstorms and now this global pandemic, Coronavirus. For the first time ever in history, a health crisis has become a sole reason for a worldwide lockdown. Locked up in our homes, running out of patience, full of anxiety and restlessness, it would be justified on our side to feel gloomy and sad. Such depressing are these times, nothing good comes to mind, where ever we see, be it on news channels or social media, it seems like this precarious pandemic has blanketed the whole world in sorrow.

It is indeed, very difficult to keep a sane mind and we're doing our best to do so. Celebrities play a big role in our lives, as we follow them, get inspired and influenced by them. Keeping which in mind, they're coming forward to motivate us to keep harmony and maintain law and order. While some are resorting to posting their workout/cooking videos on their social media handles for fans to see, others are posting useful messages for their fans. One such iconic celebrity couple is Indian Cricket team's captain, Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actor, Anushka Sharma. They have millions of fans, and both of them, time and again, motivate them by posting videos and pictures on their social media handles.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are an iconic duo. A rare combination of cricket and Bollywood, which (touchwood) is going strong as ever. They have a strong social media presence since India is a country where cricket is considered a religion and Bollywood actors are extremely popular. So inevitably, their millions of fans, consider them a role model and follow their footsteps. Virat and Anushka make sure to not disappoint their fans by being active on social media and sharing pictures and videos of themselves, to give a glimpse of their lives. Recently, Virat Kohli took to his Instagram handle to share an adorable grinning picture of himself and wife, Anushka Sharma, with the caption, "Our smiles may be fake but we are not. #StayHome #stayhealthy #staysafe".

Yesterday, Anushka had also posted an adorable picture of herself with husband, Virat and their pet, cuddling each other, with the caption, "Every dark cloud had a silver lining. And this time, while it may seem like the worst time and in so many ways it actually is, has also forcefully made us all stop and deal with things we might have been running away from because either we were ‘busy’ or it was convenient to say we were 'busy'. If this time is respected for what it is, it will enable more light to shine through. This time has also made us all realise what's truly important. For me just having food, water and a roof over my head and the good health of my family seems MOST important. Everything else is a bonus that I bow my head in gratitude for. But, that which we call 'basic' is not so basic for everyone after looking at all the people who struggle for just those few things. My prayers with them and their families. May everyone be safe and secure."

She had further added, "This time has surely made me more reflective. This need to stay at home with your loved ones has been forced upon the entire world but there is a deep lesson for us all. There is a lesson to strive for work and life balance ( I've valued and strived for this dearly for many years now ), there is a lesson to devote more time in things that actually matter. Today, when I'm surrounded by all the blessings in my life, I just want to tell everyone how much compassion I feel for everyone who I see suffer. I want to help as many possible in the best of my abilities. I feel pride in our resilience to be better human beings. I can instinctively feel this in and around me. We will all have our individual and subjective lessons from this time and hopefully, such lessons will continuously stay with us all."(Suggested Read: Raveena Tandon Thadani Takes The 'Flip The Switch' Challenge With Daughter, Rasha And Their Pets)
