In a past interview, Anushka strongly addressed the negativity and defended both her presence and her partner’s professionalism. The video of this old interview resurfaced on Reddit, where she defended Virat Kohli and other cricketers by emphasising their lifelong dedication to the sport.
She explained that since the age of eight, their lives had revolved solely around cricket and training, leaving little room for anything else apart from occasionally watching Bollywood films. Highlighting their single-minded commitment, she dismissed the notion that someone like Virat could be easily distracted or unable to manage his own career.
She questioned the logic of such criticism, stating that outsiders have no real understanding of their lives or challenges, and suggested that people should focus on managing their own affairs instead of passing baseless judgements.
Anushka about Virat's passion for gameThe PK actress also highlighted the insensitivity of those questioning Virat’s commitment to the game, citing a personal moment of immense pain.“That’s absurd to me. Virat went and played a game on the day his father passed away. It was hurtful that you would question, as in, saying that he has lost his mind now, some apsara has come and distracted him or something. It was something big that happened in his life, the worst thing which could happen… and he played a match that day.
So, these people don’t know what our lives are or what we have done. They just have a lot of hate and they want to put it out there,” she added.About Anushka and Virat's family life
