She further added that children feel less pressure when parents accept their mistakes, saying, “Imagine kids thinking, ‘My parents are like this,’ and having to live up to those expectations.”

Anushka Sharma also spoke about her impact on her social life after becoming the mother of 2 children. She said, “I can only hang out with people who do the same, and that’s very few. People invite us to dinner, and I’m like… you’re probably eating a snack at the time we eat dinner.”

She said with a laugh about the change in their lifestyle after becoming parents.

The actress also talked about the values that she and Virat want their children to learn, they want their children to learn by watching their parents performing those values rather than instructing them.

She added, “My daughter is very young, and I don’t think I can teach her anything directly. It’s more about how we live our lives. Are we showing gratitude to others in our daily life? That’s what children learn from. For them to learn gratitude, they have to see you being grateful.”

Virat Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma also added the importance of letting their children be themselves and then guiding them when it is necessary. She further noted, “If you see them being disrespectful, they’re just being kids. You can gently show them the way. Living by example is the only way to ensure they soak in the good things from their environment.”

She even spoke about how she and her husband Virat Kohli cook for their children and share family recipes with each other. She added, "We had this discussion at home that if we don’t make the food our moms made at home, then we won’t be passing these recipes on to our kids. So, sometimes I cook, and sometimes my husband cooks, and we really try to replicate the way our mothers did. I cheat a little by calling my mom to ask for recipes, but it’s so important. It’s like you’re passing on something valuable to your children.”
