Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have long been in the limelight, juggling their thriving careers with family responsibilities. This time, however, the buzz isn't about a sporting achievement or a film launch, but a pivotal change in their personal lives: the couple plans to move to London with their children, Vamika and Akaay.
The speculation around Virat and Anushka’s move began soon after they were frequently spotted in London following the birth of their son, Akaay, in February 2024. What started as whispers has now found confirmation from people close to the family, reports PinkVilla
In a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr. Sriram Nene, for his health and wellness YouTube channel, opened up about a heartfelt discussion he had with Anushka. Talking about the couple, Dr. Nene said, “I have a lot of respect for him. We’ve met him multiple times; he’s just a decent human being.” Sharing a bit more, he added, “We had a conversation with Anushka one day, and it was very interesting. They were thinking about moving to London because they can’t enjoy their success here. We appreciate what they go through because anything they do attracts attention. We almost become isolated. Anushka and Virat are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally.”
For Virat and Anushka, who have constantly been in the spotlight since their marriage in 2017, the desire to give their kids a more grounded, normal upbringing seems to have taken priority.
In addition, Virat’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, also confirmed that the couple is indeed planning to move. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, he said, “Yes, Virat plans to move to London with his children and wife, Anushka Sharma. He is going to be leaving India and shifting very soon.”
The decision may come as a surprise to many fans, but for those who have followed Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s journey closely, it’s easy to see why this move feels like the right next step. Over the years, both have often spoken about valuing privacy and personal space, especially after the birth of their daughter, Vamika, in 2021.
