New Delhi: Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma often speak highly of each other. The Indian cricketer once again, spoke about a time of his life directly influenced by Anushka Sharma that made him a better person. In a new interview, Kohli shared that after meeting Anushka, he was forced to open up his 'horizons of thinking'. The cricketer also added that watching Anushka become a mother made him know more about the strengths of women.
While speaking to Wrogn, Kohli shared that Anushka taught him to hold his ground even when no one is willing to believe in you or listen to what you have to say. He said, "She (Anushka) always told me if you know you are standing by the truth then you don’t have to worry about anything because the path will carve itself out and things will always be clean and separated.”
Virat Kohli also added that Anushka Sharma's sorted approach also tends to come from her upbringing.
Kohli shared that he and his wife are also making efforts to become 'better every day'. "We met as two individuals and we have organically come to a position where we are growing as people, the personalities and identities are subsiding quickly. It’s a blessing that we are constantly trying to become better every day.”
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli married each other in December 2017, after being in a relationship for a long time. After meeting the 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' actor, Kohli was 'forced' to open his 'horizon of thinking' as he understood that life can't happen in just one way. He realized that his partner had a 'standing of her own'. So, he will have to accept it too. "When they have a standing of their own, you have to accept it and process it into your system, which is something we didn’t grow up with,” opined Kohli.
Anushka and Virat became parents to Vamika in January 2021. Virat also commented on Anushka becoming a mother and said, "Seeing her become a mother was amazing but I also saw what it takes to become a mother. Just the way she has handled everything… she has shot a whole film in between, it is astonishing. That is when you realise the strength of a woman properly.”
