Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, who recently flew back to India alone for a public event, has opened up about her parenting approach alongside her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli. Their shared commitment to instilling traditional values in their children, Vamika and Akaay, and maintaining a structured routine despite their busy travel schedules has been a focal point of their parenting philosophy.
Anushka elaborated on their approach to food, emphasizing the significance of culinary traditions. She explained, "We had this discussion at home that if we don’t make the food our moms made at home, then we won’t be passing these recipes on to our kids." This reflection led to a deliberate effort by both Anushka and Virat to prepare and share traditional recipes with their children. "Sometimes I cook, and sometimes my husband cooks, and we really try to replicate the way our mothers did. I cheat a little by calling my mom to ask for recipes, but it’s so important. It’s like you’re passing on something valuable to your children,” Anushka added. This dedication underscores their desire to pass down family heritage and culinary skills to the next generation.
In addition to their culinary traditions, Anushka is rigorous about maintaining a stable routine for their children, regardless of their extensive travel. She noted, "I am very particular about routine. We travel a lot as a family, and my kids experience many changes in their lives. So, by creating a routine for them, I am giving them a sense of control. Meal times are fixed—no matter where we are, we eat at the same time and sleep at the same time. It helps them regulate themselves much better." This commitment to routine provides their children with a sense of stability and normalcy amid the frequent changes in their environment.
Anushka’s return to India was marked by her solo presence, as Virat and the children remained in the UK. There has been ongoing speculation about the family possibly relocating to London permanently, although there has been no official statement confirming this move. The Sharma-Kohli family’s international lifestyle has fueled discussions about their future plans, but Anushka’s focus remains on balancing her professional commitments with family life.
Professionally, Anushka has recently wrapped up filming for her upcoming Netflix film, "Chakda Xpress." While the film’s release date has yet to be announced, it is anticipated to be a significant project in her career. This period of balancing family and work highlights Anushka’s dedication to both her personal and professional life, illustrating her ability to manage a busy career while upholding her values and responsibilities as a parent.
