Mumbai (Maharashtra), June 15 – On the occasion of Father’s Day, actor Anushka Sharma shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram, celebrating the two most important fathers in her life — her father and her husband, cricket star Virat Kohli.
The post included a picture of Anushka’s father, as well as an adorable hand-made Father’s Day card from daughter Vamika for Virat. The note melted hearts online with its innocent charm:
“He looks like my brother. He is funny. He tickles me. I play makeup with him. I love him so much and he loves me this much (arms wide). — Vamika.”
Anushka captioned the post,
“To the first man I ever loved — and the first man our daughter did… Happy Father’s Day to all the beautiful fathers everywhere.”
Fan Reactions
The post drew a wave of love from followers:
- “This is sooo cuteee,” commented one user.
- “Her writing awwwww,” wrote another, referring to Vamika’s sweet message.
Virat and Anushka’s Journey
The couple, often referred to as ‘Virushka’, got married on December 11, 2017 in Italy. They welcomed daughter Vamika in January 2021, and more recently, son Akaay in February 2024. The couple kept their second pregnancy private until announcing Akaay’s birth.
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their first-ever IPL trophy, Virat shared a tribute to Anushka:
“We’re both equally relieved, and since she’s a Bangalore girl too, this is far more special for her. Together all the way through.”
Virat’s Test Retirement
Recently, Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of a transformational 14-year run. Known for instilling fitness and aggression in the Indian Test side, Kohli ended his red-ball career with:
- 9,230 runs
- 30 centuries
- 31 fifties
- Average of 46.85
He remains India’s fourth-highest run-scorer in the format and a modern icon of consistency and intensity.
