Virat Kohli has never hesitated to express how deeply Anushka Sharma has influenced his life, personally and professionally. The power couple, lovingly called ‘Virushka‘ by their fans, has been setting relationship goals ever since they met during an ad shoot in 2013. The rest is simply history. Their rare but sweet social media PDA and public appearances are known to paint the town red. On top of it, when the two talk about one another, it appears as if Cupid gets his magic potion from them. For instance, do you remember the time when Virat Kohli while speaking about Anushka said, “Don’t know where I would have been if I hadn’t met her”
This happened in 2021, ahead of a five-match test series against England. Kohli sat down for an interview, where he opened up about Anushka’s role and her unwavering support in his life. He expressed his immense gratitude, saying, “If I hadn’t met her (Anushka), I don’t know where I would have been. She has made me believe where I am and what impact I can have through what I do. She has alleviated me as a person, and that has eventually filtered through in cricket. I couldn’t be more grateful and lucky to have a life partner like her. She is my better half,” he told Sky Sports.
In 2021, Virat and Anushka also welcomed their first child, their daughter Vamika. She instantly and effortlessly became the priority for Virat and Anushka, and the cricketer shared how their daily routine revolved around her. He said “Firstly now, with our daughter, it’s putting her to sleep, first thing. Then, stepping out for breakfast somewhere, grab a quick coffee in the time that we get. And then, come back to the room to be with our daughter again. Priority is making sure that we stay up to speed with her schedule.”
It’s been years since this interview was released, and Virat and Anushka’s relationship has continued to blossom beautifully. Their family has welcomed another member; the couple now has a son named Akaay. Their fans keep looking forward to their public appearances.
