Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have consistently been vocal about their desire to shield their children, Vamika Kohli and Akaay Kohli, from the relentless attention of the media. Despite facing criticism from some quarters for being overly protective and cautious, the couple remains steadfast in their commitment to ensuring their children experience a normal, unpublicized childhood. This protective stance, however, does not deter their vast fan base from eagerly seeking any available glimpses of their children.

Recently, a well-known Bollywood photographer, Varinder Chawla, shared some insights about Anushka and Virat's daughter, Vamika, during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit. As fans bombarded him with questions, one curious follower inquired about which parent Vamika resembled more. Chawla promptly responded, "Anushka." This response, however, sparked a debate among fans. One user skeptically commented, "Isne Vamika ko dekha nahi hai matlab," implying that Chawla hadn't actually seen Vamika. Another fan humorously disagreed, stating, "Haha seriously, she’s a mini Virat." ALSO READ: Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli Vacation In London With Daughter Vamika?

Despite the intense scrutiny from fans and the media, Anushka and Virat have always maintained a respectful relationship with the press. Following the birth of their son Akaay, the couple went out of their way to express their gratitude to photographers who respected their privacy. They distributed thoughtfully curated hampers, which included practical items such as a power bank, a small side bag, a smartwatch, and a water bottle. Accompanying these gifts was a heartfelt note thanking the media for their cooperation and respect for their children's privacy. Virat later revealed that it was Anushka who meticulously selected and curated the items for the hampers.
In addition to their considerate gestures, Anushka has also taken a firm stance against media breaches of their children's privacy. In July 2022, she publicly criticized a media organization for photographing and sharing images of Vamika for the sake of garnering likes. Anushka swiftly responded in the comments section, reprimanding the organization and urging them to learn from others who respected her family's privacy. This incident underscored her unwavering commitment to protecting her children from unwanted media exposure and ensuring they have a normal upbringing, away from the public eye.
