Anushka Sharma reveals how she and Virat Kohli prepare meals for their kids: ‘It’s like passing on something valuable to your children’
On Wednesday morning, Anushka Sharma made a notable return to India, appearing at an event in Mumbai. This visit marked her first public appearance in a while, and it was made even more special by her candid discussion about family life. Her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, and their children, Vamika and Akaay, were notably absent from this trip.
At the event, Anushka shed light on her hands-on approach to parenting. She shared that both she and Virat are actively involved in preparing meals for their children. “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. So, 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,” she explained.
Anushka also spoke about maintaining a consistent routine for her kids despite their frequent travels. She emphasized the importance of fixed meal and sleep times to give her children a sense of stability. “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,” she said.
This visit is Anushka’s second to India since the birth of her son Akaay, with her last visit being for the IPL in May. Recent speculation has suggested that she and Virat may have relocated to the UK, as they have been frequently spotted in London.
Anushka, who has not appeared in a film since 2018’s “Zero,” is set to return to the screen in “Chakda Xpress,” a biopic about former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The film, which has completed shooting, is expected to be released on an OTT platform, although the exact release date has yet to be announced.
