For the unversed, Anushka and Virat tied the knot in Italy on 11 December 2017 after dating for a few years. The couple share two kids together. Anushka gave birth to their daughter, Vamika, in 2021 and their son, Akaay, in 2024. The couple is insanely private about their lives, even after marriage, and spends most of their time in London.

Anushka and Virat recently returned to India for a while and visited a few spiritual sites. On the work front, Anushka has taken a break from acting to take care of their kids and enjoys her low-key life in London.
