In a recent interview, Virat Kohli spoke about wife-actor Anushka Sharma, and stated she has made ‘huge sacrifices’ as a mother in the last two years. The player claimed that after observing Anushka’s way of life, he came to the conclusion that “any troubles he had were nothing.”
After dating for a while, Anushka and Virat were united in marriage in a small ceremony in Italy in 2017. In January 2021, Vamika Kohli, their daughter, was born. Virat stated, “Your family loves you for who you are,” when talking about “the past two years” with his wife and daughter.
“The way things have been in the past two years, we have had our child and, as a mother, the sacrifices that she made have been massive. Looking at her, I realised whatever problems I had were nothing. As far as expectations are concerned, as long as your family loves you for who you are, you don’t expect much because that is the basic requirement,” Virat said during his recent RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) podcast.
Virat further spoke about how Anushka inspires him. He said, “When you look for inspiration, you start from home and, obviously, Anushka has been a big inspiration for me. My life had a completely different perspective. When you fall in love with a person, you start processing those changes within you as well. Her outlook towards life was different and it urged me to change for the better and become more accepting of things.”
In an interview earlier this year, Virat said that the slump in his career had left him feeling irritated and “cranky,” which had caused him to be unjust to his wife Anushka and other family members. In an interview with bcci.tv, Virat had stated, “In my case, in denial, irritation was sneaking in. I was really irritable and snappy in my own area. It wasn’t fair to my family, my wife Anushka Sharma, and the individuals who help you, either. I therefore had to accept responsibility and attempt to put things into perspective.
