As soon as the post emerged on social media, fans started defending their favourite cricketer. “He is right…they need privacy,” a person wrote.

Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were recently spotted together in Ahmedabad. They posed for pictures with a fan, and even gifted her handwritten notes. Several photos of the fan’s lucky moment went viral on social media. “To Ashi, thank you for all the help. Best wishes from us,” the note from the couple read. After Royal Challenger won the IPL 2026 trophy in Ahmedabad, Virat and Anushka visited Vrindavan to seek blessings from Premanand Maharaj. They then visited Delhi before going back to London.

In 2021, both Virat and Anushka had shared a joint statement, requesting privacy for their daughter Vamika, and urging media houses and publications to not use her photos anywhere. “We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice restraint in the matter. Special thank you to fan clubs and people of the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you.”

Actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli have been married for 9 years now. They tied the knot with each other in 2017. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Vamika, in 2021 and their son Akaay in 2024. They officially shifted to London in 2024 and continue to reside there.
