Virat Kohli, a cricketing icon, and Anushka Sharma, a celebrated Bollywood actress, have consistently maintained a private lifestyle, especially when it comes to their children. The couple has been very cautious about exposing their kids to the media and public, a decision that has garnered both respect and curiosity from their massive fanbase.

Virat and Anushka are proud parents of two kids

The couple, who got married on December 11, 2017, in a lavish ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, after nearly six years of dating, welcomed their second child, a son named Akaay, on February 15 of this year. They have been very careful to only share glimpses of their family moments, ensuring their children’s faces are not revealed in the process.

In a recent interaction with Zoom, television actor Aamir Ali, who collaborated with Virat for an advertisement, shared insights into Kohli’s personal life and his thoughts on parenting. During the interview, Ali revealed that it was Anushka’s decision to keep their children, Vamika and Akaay, away from the media glare and fan attention. “It’s Anushka’s decision to keep the kids away [from the media and fans]. Kids have to be,” he commented, adding that Kohli respects this decision wholeheartedly.

Ali also spoke about the warmth and affection that Kohli exhibits when discussing his family, “We did have a chat about cricket, but when he spoke about his family, he had a different spark on his face. He showed me his daughter’s photo and also spoke about Anushka. That was the most endearing thing I liked about him.”

Ali added: “Akaay is damn cute…he’s so golu molu and a cute pie, God bless him.”

This approach of Virat and Anushka has allowed their children to have a semblance of a normal upbringing, away from the unavoidable scrutiny that comes with the territories of their parents’ fame. The decision, initiated by Anushka and supported by Virat, highlights a protective stance aiming to shield their offspring from the pressures of celebrity status.
