Anushka urges paps to not share pictures of her daughter Vamika

Actress Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram Stories to share a message thanking those who refrained from publishing daughter Vamika’s pictures on public platforms and made a request to those who didn’t. The note read, “We are deeply thankful to the Indian paparazzi and most of the media fraternity for not publishing pictures/videos of Vamika. As parents, our request to the few who carried the images/video will be to support us going forward.”
It added, “We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older, we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice (retrain) in the matter. A special thank you to fan clubs and people of the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you.”
Anushka and Vamika joined husband Virat Kohli and the Indian cricket term on a tour of South Africa where the squad will play against the hosts. A clip of the team landing in the country went viral, as it showed Viral getting off the bus, walking towards the paparazzi and requesting them to not click pictures of their kid. “Baby ka mat lena haan (Don’t click pictures of the baby, okay?).”
The parents have been vocal about not wanting to raise Vamika in the public eye. Speaking with Vogue India in December 2020, Anushka had said, “We’ve thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don’t plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it’s a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It’s hard enough for adults to deal with it. It’s going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through.”
