Balancing marriage and career is never easy, especially when you’re married to a high-profile personality like Virat Kohli. Actress Anushka Sharma recently opened up about how she managed her busy schedule with her husband’s during the early days of their marriage. In an interview with Vogue India, Anushka revealed that in the first six months of their marriage, they spent only 21 days together. She calculated it, and it was a challenge to find time for each other. Virat Kohli was often away for matches, and Anushka was busy filming. Having dinner together was a small victory.
When Anushka travels to meet Virat abroad, it’s not a vacation; it’s about sharing a meal together – a precious moment. She dismissed the idea that their meetings are glamorous. “When I go to meet Virat or when he comes to meet me, people assume it’s a vacation, but it’s not,” she said. At least one of them is always working.
Life After Marriage
After their whirlwind wedding in Italy in December 2017, Anushka and Virat welcomed their daughter Vamika in 2021 and son Akay in 2024. They’ve been living in London to raise their kids. They still travel to India for work.
In an intimate interview with Simi Garewal, Anushka shared the toll non-stop work took on her. After wrapping up ‘Sui Dhaaga’ and ‘Zero,’ she felt emotionally and physically drained. “I told my team I didn’t want to read anything for a while,” she recalled. This break helped her recharge.
The couple’s busy lives haven’t changed much, but they’ve learned to cherish the moments they share together. For Anushka and Virat, it’s about making the most of their time together, whether it’s a quick dinner or a rare vacation.
