Their wedding and announcement
The couple got married in 2017 in a hush-hush manner but the news hit the Indian media like a turbo bolt with videos and images from the wedding going viral almost instantly. On August of 2020, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli announced that they were going to have a baby.
“And then we were three! Arriving Jan 2021,” both of them wrote while sharing a happy picture on their respective social media accounts. The power couple were flooded with congratulatory messages from celebrity friends like Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sania Mirza, Kiara Advani and Parineeti Chopra.
Urge for privacy
Social media is terrible for grown adults and can be incredibly harmful. Hence, the new parents have encouraged the paparazzi to not take pictures of their baby daughter because they hope to keep her away from the public eye.
“Hi, Thank you for all the love that you have given us for all these years. We are happy to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. As parents, we have a simple request to make to you. We want to protect the privacy of our child and we need your help and support,” the couple wrote in a note to the paparazzi.
“While we will always ensure that you get all the content you need featuring us, we would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child. We know that you will understand where we are coming from and we thank you for the same,” they added.
