Speaking in a podcast last week, Cricketer Virat Kohli called his wife, actor Anushka Sharma as his “pillar of strength”, adding that she is extremely understanding of his situation. Answering a question regarding his on-field performance, Kohli said it was 70 per cent technical, and that mentally, his “great detailed conversations” with Anushka are extremely helpful.
On the podcast 'Not Just Cricket' with Mark Nicholas, Kohli said, “Anushka and I have such great detailed conversations about the complexity of the mind and how it can pull you into negativity and what are the things that matter to put things into perspective. She has been a pillar of strength for me in that regard. Because she herself is at a level where she had to deal with a lot of negativity. So she understands my situation and I understand her situation.”
He added that she “understands exactly what (he is) thinking, feeling and... going through.” He said that he and the actor love spending quality time together. “We love being with each other. There is no other explanation for it at all. We realise more and more as we grow in life that it is really spending quality time together that matters at the end of the day because you are together for life.”
Virat and Anushka fell in love while shooting for a commercial in 2013. They married in Italy in December 2017, and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika last month.
