Fame in India is a double-edged sword, and for Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, the edge became a bit too sharp. As a Bollywood couple who values a “normal” upbringing for their children, Vamika and Akaay, the duo has reportedly shifted their primary base to London. While they haven’t retired from their respective careers, their presence in India has become much more tactical and fleeting.
The decision stems from a desire to walk down the street without a security detail or a dozen cameras following their every move. In London, they are just another wealthy, successful couple enjoying a park or a coffee shop. Industry insiders and close friends, including Dr. Shriram Nene, have noted that the couple felt “isolated” by their own success in India.
This move signals a growing trend among Indian A-listers who are seeking a global lifestyle to protect their mental health and family privacy. For “Virushka,” moving abroad wasn’t about leaving their roots behind; it was about finding a place where they could simply be parents first and icons second.
