Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma ‘aren’t perfect parents’, says actor: ‘Kids know that you are flawed’

Anushka also opened up the changes in her social life after embracing parenthood. She said, “I can only hang out with people who do the same and that’s very few people. So social life, you can forget about it. People invite us to dinner and I am like (makes a confusing expression)… You are probably eating a snack at the time we eat our dinner. Some day, occasionally you have to let it go, otherwise people will hate you,” she laughed.

Anushka also spoke about trying to inculcate good values in her children. She said that instead of teaching them, she and husband Virat Kohli try to lead by example. “In my case, I have realised that my daughter is very young. And I don’t think I can teach her anything. It is how we lead our lives. Are we showing gratitude to others in our daily life? Are we grateful for the things we have in life? Are we showing that as an example? Do we think this is enough? I think she has picked up on that, I don’t think I can teach her anything. For them to learn gratitude, they have to see you being grateful. It is a very selfish space to say that ‘I’ll teach my child this and that’. You have to be grateful, your child will follow suit. You just have to enjoy their childhood. If you ever see them showing disrespect, they are not showing disrespect, they are just being kids and you can gently guide them. Living by example is the only way to make sure they soak the good things from the environment,” she concluded.

On the work front, Anushka was last seen in Zero with Shah Rukh Khan in 2018. She is now awaiting the release of her upcoming sports biopic film Chakda Xpress, based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
