Anushka on Virat’s aggressive behaviour on field
Anushka also clarified the common misconception about Virat’s unhinged behaviour on the field and how he is nothing like that off it. She called him a ‘shaant’ person in real life.
Anushka also spoke about how little time they get to spend with each other. “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,” she said.
Despite the crunch, Anushka never asks him to ignore his work for her and neither does he.
