Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have a unique way of raising their kids- Vamika and Akaay. While the couple is already ahead of their counterparts in giving out major relationship lessons, the couple’s parenthood journey is similarly exemplary.
Anushka and Virat welcomed Vamika in 2021 and Akaay in 2024.

Parenting is not being perfect parents

In an event in Mumbai for a food brand that she endorses, Anushka revealed that there is always a pressure on parents to be perfect.The ‘Rab ne Bana di Jodi’ actor also spoke about how she and her husband do not believe in becoming perfect parents. She said they complain about things before their kids to show their kids that they are flawed and it is okay to have flaws. Anushka said this eases the pressure on kids to be perfect.

Living by own rules as parents

Another learning-worthy characteristic of Anushka Sharma is her adherence to punctuality. Not just as a mother, as an individual she is hailed for being very particular about timing and several of her co-stars and friends in the movie industry have talked about this in interviews. Anushka has revealed that she still follows the rules like eating early and going to bed and admits that this leaves her with less people to hangout with.

The couple believes in teaching values through action, not instruction

When it comes to teaching kids value, Anushka and Virat believe in teaching values through action and by being practical and do not believe in giving theoretical instructions to kid.

They prefer being role models to their kids. “My daughter is very young, and I don’t think I can teach her anything directly. It’s more about how we live our lives. Are we showing gratitude to others in our daily life? That’s what children learn from,” she said.

They believe in passing on age old wisdom to kids

Anushka and Virat are traditionalists at heart. They believe in passing down the wisdoms they have seen growing up as kids and aim to introduce their kids to tradition so that they know their roots. For example, they cook foods that were their comfort food as kids instead of solely relying on modern recipes.

Keeping things private

Anushka and Virat gained attention, sometimes criticism too, for being overprotective for their kids. The couple has shielded their kids from public eyes from the time they were born. The celeb parents have made it sure that no matter what nobody can gain insights about their private life. This is a healthy aspect of parenting where they do not wish to overshare about their kids and want to keep parenting to themselves.
