Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma recently opened up about parenting and how she and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli make sure to cook for their children, daughter Vamika and son Akaay.

Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Anushka said that she and Virat want to pass on these "recipes to our kids". She also discussed following a strict “eating and sleeping” timetable for her children even when they are travelling.

“We had this discussion at home that if we don’t make the food our moms made at home, then we won’t be passing these recipes on to our kids. So, sometimes I cook, and sometimes my husband cooks, and we really try to replicate the way our mothers did. I cheat a little by calling my mom to ask for recipes, but it’s so important. It’s like you’re passing on something valuable to your children,” Anushka stated.

Talking about the routine of her children, she remarked: “I am very particular about routine. We travel a lot as a family, and my kids experience many changes in their lives. So, by creating a routine for them, I am giving them a sense of control. Meal times are fixed—no matter where we are, we eat at the same time and sleep at the same time. It helps them regulate themselves much better.”

Kohli and Anushka were blessed with a baby girl, Vamika in January 2021. Three years later, in February 2024, the couple welcomed their second child, a son named Akaay. They have been living with their children in the UK for some time now.

Virat Kohli will be next seen in action during the home Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19 at Chapauk.
