Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma kept the news of their pregnancy under wraps. Unlike the first time around, the couple waited to announce their joy.
A few weeks ago, cricketer AB de Villiers shared that Virat and Anushka were expecting their second baby. On his YouTube channel, the cricketer said, “Yes, his second child is on the way. Yes, it’s family time and things are important to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people’s priority is family. You can’t judge Virat for that. Yes, we miss him. But he has made absolutely the right decision.”
However, shortly after, he said that this was “false information” and told Dainik Bhaskar, “I made a terrible mistake at the same time, sharing false information, which was not true at all.”
Recently, Virat Kohli withdrew from the Test series against England leading many to speculate that the couple was indeed expecting a baby.
Anushka Sharma has not had a film release since 2018’s Zero. The actor will next be seen in cricketer Jhulan Goswami’s biopic Chakda Xpress.
The couple welcomed their daughter Vamika in January 2021. Virat and Anushka got married in 2017 after dating each other for several years.
