In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Anushka Sharma opens up about her journey with Virat Kohli, the nuances of their relationship, and her much-anticipated return to the silver screen.
Anushka Sharma, known for her versatility and authenticity, has always been candid about her personal and professional life. In a heartfelt interview with Filmfare a couple of years back, she delved into her relationship with Virat Kohli, shedding light on the man behind the cricketing legend, and discussed her upcoming projects that mark her return to acting.
Reflecting on her marriage, Anushka shares, “I’m married to my best friend. I’m married to my confidant. I’m married to someone I love so dearly just because of the human being that he is.” Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, offers them solace amidst their demanding careers. “When we’re together, the world ceases to exist,” she adds, emphasizing the depth of their connection.

Addressing the common perception of Virat’s on-field aggression, Anushka clarifies, “He’s one of the calmest persons I’ve met. Off the field, he’s so relaxed… He’s the most shaant person I know. I look at him and I’m like, ‘Wow! You’re so chill.’”
The couple’s hectic schedules often mean limited time together. Anushka recounts, “During the first six months of our marriage, we spent 21 or 22 days together… We were hardly together in Mumbai. In fact, the staff at home gets so happy whenever they see us together at home.”
Despite the challenges, they prioritise each other’s careers. “I’m never going to be like, ‘Oh please spend more time with me at the cost of your work’. No, please do your work. He’s the same with me,” Anushka explains, highlighting the mutual respect that forms the foundation of their relationship.
After a brief hiatus, Anushka is set to make a powerful comeback with PK 2 and Sultan 2, both of which are sequels to box office hits. PK 2 is a potential sequel with Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, while Sultan 2 is a sequel starring Salman Khan.
Anushka Sharma’s comeback film Chakda ‘Xpress, a biopic on Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami, was initially slated for release on Netflix. However, the project has been put on hold following budget constraints and creative differences. The makers are now exploring alternative platforms for its release.
As Anushka Sharma steps back into the limelight, fans await her performances in upcoming projects with bated breath. Her journey, both personal and professional, continues to inspire many, reflecting a life lived with authenticity, passion, and grace.
