Anushka Sharma has recently garnered praise from actor Sonal Chauhan for her positive influence on husband Virat Kohli, particularly in bringing out his spiritual side. Virat Kohli, once known for his fiery temperament and aggressive approach to the game, has noticeably mellowed over the years. Many have attributed this transformation to the calming presence of Anushka in his life.
In a candid interview with Filmygyan, Sonal Chauhan spoke about the changes she has observed in Kohli. When asked what she would say if she were to meet the cricketer, Sonal mentioned, “I would greet him with Jai Shri Ram and Har Har Mahadev, as I’ve noticed that he’s becoming more spiritual these days. I’ve seen his videos where he talks about his spiritual journey.”
Sonal further reflected on Kohli’s previous comments about not being spiritual earlier in life. She attributed his newfound spiritual side to Anushka, saying, “I think the right partner can make a huge difference. The right woman in his life has certainly brought out this calm and spiritual side of him. Being around positive, supportive people can reflect beautifully on one’s character, and I believe Anushka has had a calming effect on him.”
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s relationship has been public knowledge since 2013. Despite facing a brief separation in 2016, during which Virat famously stood by Anushka when she faced online abuse, the couple rekindled their relationship and eventually married in a picturesque ceremony in Italy in December 2017. In January 2021, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika, and their second child, a son named Akaay, was born in February 2024.
Anushka has not appeared in a leading film role since Zero (2018). However, she wrapped up filming for her much-anticipated biopic on cricketer Jhulan Goswami, Chakda Xpress, in 2022, though there have been no updates regarding its release.
