Anushka told Grazia India, “The entire last year went into filming Chakda. I’d finish shooting and would have only that much time to spend time with my daughter, feed her dinner, and follow her night-time routine, and go to bed early soon after her. I don’t think I found time to do anything else. I’m okay to do more movies but only if it’s worth taking my time out and if it makes sense. I don’t want to do movies just to stay in the game – I’m very clear about that. It would have to be a film like Chakda.”

Anushka discussed the fact that she does everything for Vamika and how her daughter is developing into a secure individual as a result. She said, “It has internally made me a far more self-assured individual – I feel I’m way more confident as a person. It’s a very real thing, caring for another human – and putting the child first in everything. I want to mention this – that it’s so important to have this connect with your child. I’m so hands on and I do everything for her, and I enjoy doing it, so the bond is very special. I feel that she’s turning into a secure individual, and I’m happy about that.”

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied knot in 2017 after dating for few years. In 2021, the couple embraced parenthood and welcomed their daughter Vamika.

Coming to film front, Anushka was last seen in a lead role in Zero starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. She also had a cameo in a recent film Qala. As mentioned, she is currently handling her production house Clean Slate Filmz along with her brother Karnesh Sharma and gearing up for the release of Chakda Xpress, which interestingly portrays her role as a cricketer. The film is expected to be a biopic on the life of renowned Indian female cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
