This is Virushka’s first child. The couple got married in December 2017 at a traditional wedding in Italy after which they threw a lavish wedding reception in both Mumbai and Delhi. Anushka and Virat announced the news of their pregnancy during the coronavirus lockdown in August. The Instagram post that they made to announce the news became the most viral post of the year and the polka-dotted dress that Anushka wore became one of the most sold outfits of the year on various retail websites.
Our heartiest congratulations to the new parents!
