“There are so many similarities in the way we are as people and the way we approach life. So I do think that will work for us. I’ve been thinking about it before I even became a parent. Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our children is respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats.”, said Anushka, in an interview with Vogue.
Virat Kohli, the captain of India’s cricket team, was granted paternity leave by the Board of Cricket Control in India or BCCI and flew home from Australia towards the end of December after playing the first of a four-match Test series. The team is being captained by Ajinkya Rahane during his paternity leave.
