Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli are set to welcome their first baby in January 2021. While their fans are happy and excited for the newborn, the Zero actress recently opened up about raising her child with husband by imparting the values, which she got from her parents. Talking to Vogue magazine, Anushka said, “There are so many similarities in the way we are as people and the way we approach life. So I do think that will work for us. I’ve been thinking about it before I even became a parent. Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats,” Also Read - From Anushka Sharma to Anita Hassanandani: 5 actresses who announced their pregnancy in the most adorable way
The actress also revealed that she and Virat will keep their baby away from social media as she asserted, “We’ve thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don’t plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it’s a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It’s hard enough for adults to deal with it. It’s going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through.” Also Read - Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli bump into Varun Dhawan-Natasha Dalal in Switzerland and pull a 'Hello Fraands'
When asked about dividing responsibilities as mother and father, Anushka replied, “We don’t see it as mum and dad duties, but as a family unit. For us, it’s important that our child be raised with a very balanced outlook. It is all about shared duties. I will be the primary caregiver, especially in the first few years, and that’s the reality. I am self-employed and I can decide when I am working if I do one or two films a year. In Virat’s case, he plays round the year. What becomes important is the time we spend together as a family.” Also Read - Farokh Engineer on his feud with Anushka Sharma: It's being made a mountain out of a molehill
