When Anushka Sharma gave a brave reply to trolls about 'distracting' Virat Kohli: 'He went and played on the day his father passed away'
Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma once found herself at the centre of intense criticism and unwarranted blame during a period when her husband, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli , was not performing at his best. Many accused her of being a distraction, simply for being present at his matches. She had publicly addressed these accusations in the past with a brave response. Anushka's brave reply to trolls 00:58 Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visit Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya In a past interview, Anushka strongly addressed the negativity and defended both her presence and her partner's professionalism. The video of this old interview resurfaced on Reddit, where she defended Virat Kohli and other cricketers by emphasising their lifelong dedication to the sport. She explained that since the age of eight, their lives had revolved solely around cricket and training, leaving little room for anything else apart from occasionally watching Bollywood films. Highlighting their single-minded commitment, she dismissed the notion that someone like Virat could be easily distracted or unable to manage his own career. She questioned the logic of such criticism, stating that outsiders have no real understanding of their lives or challenges, and suggested that people should focus on managing their own affairs instead of passing baseless judgements.

'That's absurd to me. Virat went and played a game on the day his father passed away. It was hurtful that you would question, as in, saying that he has lost his mind now, some apsara has come and distracted him or something. It was something big that happened in his life, the worst thing which could happen… and he played a match that day. So, these people don't know what our lives are or what we have done. They just have a lot of hate and they want to put it out there,' she added. About Anushka and Virat's family life Anushka and Virat continue to remain in the spotlight, as recent reports claimed that the couple may move to London to provide their children with a peaceful environment away from the limelight.

Anushka Sharma's Friend Leaves Internet Intrigued During IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 Clash
Bollywood star and Virat Kohli 's wife, Anushka Sharma, was in attendance as Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualified for the IPL 2025 final with a win over Punjab Kings on Thursday. However, it was her friend who made a lot of fans curious and even left the social media abuzz. The woman was seated beside Anushka throughout the match, and they celebrated together at the end of the encounter. The woman in question is Malvika Nayak, a long-time friend of Anushka. This was not the first time that Malvika attended a match with her as she was seen during the match against Lucknow Super Giants. According to a report by the Times of India, Malvika is an MBA graduate from Manipal Academy of Higher Education and currently oversees Business Development & Partnerships at Innoz Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Got it- her name is Malavika Nayak and her husband is Nikhil Sosale who has a Diageo background (that owns RCB) and also now he manages all brand and publicity for RCB. — KaustubhP (@causticcos) May 30, 2025 Coming to the match, A brilliant bowling show led by three-fers from Suyash Sharma and Josh Hazlewood took Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their fourth final in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history, beating Punjab Kings by eight wickets in a one-sided Qualifier 1 clash in the 2025 season at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. On a pitch that had ample stitching and extra bounce, everything went RCB's way, right from the toss, as leg-spinner Suyash and a returning Hazlewood took 3-17 and 3-21 respectively to rip apart the PBKS' power-packed batting line-up and bundle them out for just 101 in 14.1 overs. The duo was also supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, and Romario Shepherd, taking four wickets collectively to set the base for a dominating RCB win. In the chase, opener Phil Salt scored a 23-ball fifty, his fastest half-century in the IPL, and sizzled with some exquisite stroke-play to be unbeaten on 56 off 27, as RCB completed the chase with 10 overs to spare. While RCB will now play their fourth IPL final on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, PBKS have another shot at making the final when they play Qualifier 2 against the winner of the Eliminator clash at the same venue on Sunday.
