In a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma recently expressed their gratitude to the paparazzi for respecting their children's privacy. The couple, known for their stringent privacy policies concerning their family, took a unique approach by sending personalised gift hampers to the paparazzi along with a thoughtful note.
Virat and Anushka, who have been quite particular about maintaining a no-photo policy for their children - Vamika and Akaay, wanted to acknowledge the cooperation they have received from the media. The couple welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Akaay, on February 15, 2024. Since then, they have been more cautious about the exposure of their children to the public eye.
The gift hampers were a token of their appreciation, aimed at thanking those who have adhered to their request for privacy. One of the paparazzi shared a video on Instagram, showcasing the gift delivery. The note included with the gift read, "We sincerely thank you for respecting the privacy of our children and for your unwavering cooperation."
This gesture by Virat and Anushka is not just about gifts; it's a significant move that highlights the importance of privacy for public figures, especially when it involves children. It also sets a precedent for how celebrities can positively reinforce good practices among the paparazzi.
Their approach seems to have been well received, as the media have continued to respect their wishes, helping the couple maintain a normal life for their children away from the relentless media spotlight.
Moreover, Anushka and Virat are not just focusing on their family but are also busy with their professional commitments. Anushka Sharma is set to make her Bollywood comeback with the Jhulan Goswami biopic, 'Chakda Xpress,' which will premiere on Netflix. Meanwhile, Virat continues to be active in his cricket career, recently seen playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
By balancing their professional and personal lives, while also managing their interactions with the media, Virat and Anushka are setting an example of how celebrities can manage public attention gracefully. They have shown that it is possible to protect one's privacy without creating conflicts, by fostering mutual respect and understanding between the media and public figures.
Their thoughtful gesture not only acknowledges the cooperation they have received but also encourages a continued respectful relationship with the media.
