We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka."

Virat and Anushka had earlier issued an official statement revealing the reason for keeping Vamika away from the limelight, "We have decided as a couple to not expose our child to social media before she has an understanding of what social media is and can make her own choice."
In May, the couple sent gift hampers to paparazzi, expressing gratitude towards them for respecting the privacy of their kids. The gift hamper included goodies like a power bank, a small bag for storing essentials on the go, a smartwatch, and a water bottle.
Enclosed with the gift was a heartfelt note that read, 'Thank you for respecting the privacy of our kids and for always being cooperative! Love, Anushka and Virat'."
Meanwhile, on the work front, Anushka has a sports biopic film 'Chakda Xpress' in her kitty. The project is based on the life of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami and will stream on OTT. The final release date of the film is still awaited.
