Virat Kohli’s Sweet Gesture About Anushka At London Gala Goes Viral
At a YouWeCan charity event in London, Virat Kohli melted fans with a silent gesture about wife Anushka Sharma and their kids. Wimbledon 2025 outing adds to buzz.
Earlier this week, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma turned heads at Wimbledon 2025 (July 7), cheering on Novak Djokovic’s dramatic Round‑of‑16 comeback against Alex de Minaur. The rare public appearance set social media buzzing, but the Indian power couple saved an even sweeter moment for later in the week.
Sweet Gesture at YouWeCan Event Goes Viral
Attending a YouWeCan charity soirée in London, Kohli found himself seated among an eclectic mix of VIPs. When travel blogger‑comedian Sumit Sapra caught his eye from across the room, the cricketer greeted him with a broad grin and wave. Sapra silently mouthed, “Where’s Anushka?” prompting Kohli to mime that his wife was home, “sleeping with the kids.” The quick hand gesture and child‑cradling motion were captured on video and have since ricocheted across the internet, drawing applause for the cricketer’s down‑to‑earth charm and family‑first priorities.
Anushka on Shared Parenting and Balanced Upbringing
Anushka Sharma has long spoken about creating a balanced environment for daughter Vamika and son Akaay. In a post‑pregnancy interview with Vogue she explained, “We don’t see it as mum and dad duties, but as a family unit. For us, it’s important that our child be raised with a very balanced outlook. It is all about shared duties. I will be the primary caregiver, especially in the first few years, and that’s the reality… I am self‑employed, and I can decide when I am working, if I do one or two films a year. In Virat’s case, he plays round the year. What becomes important is the time we spend together as a family.”

Reflecting on modern‑day parenting, she added, “Times have changed. It’s important for children to look at their parents—they learn from you. And there is a sense of normalcy that both of us work… Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats.”
A Relationship Rooted in Privacy and Partnership
Kohli and Sharma wed on December 11, 2017, in an intimate ceremony overlooking Lake Como. They welcomed Vamika on January 11, 2021, and added baby Akaay to the family on February 15, 2024. Although both maintain demanding careers—Kohli on the pitch and Sharma on set—the couple’s London moments underline a shared commitment to shielding their children from the spotlight while still delighting fans with genuine, unscripted interactions.
