On January 6, Anushka lashed out at paparazzi for clicking pictures and invading their privacy. The actor, in an Instagram story, posted a publication’s post and name-called them for doing the opposite of what she had requested them to do, respect their privacy.

“Despite requesting the said photographer and the publication, they still continue to invade our privacy. Guys! Stop this right now!”

Virat and Anushka announced that they will be welcoming their first child in August 2020. “And then, we were three! Arriving Jan 2021,” both the actor and the cricketer shared on their Instagram handles.
