Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli Break Silence on Vamika’s Pictures Going Viral on Internet: ‘Were Caught Off Guard’

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli release an official statement after their daughter, Vamika's pictures go viral on the internet. Check their full statement on the matter here.

Anushka Sharma breaks silence on Vamika’s viral photos: Anushka Sharma took to social media to say she didn’t know that the camera was on her during the match on Sunday after which her daughter, Vamika’s pictures went viral on the internet. Virat and Anushka had requested the media to not film or click their baby daughter without their permission and the request was accepted until Sunday when a sports channel panned the camera to Anushka and Vamika cheering in the stands as Virat made his fifty on the pitch.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Monday morning, Anushka wrote that as parents, their stand on the matters ‘stays the same’. The couple continues to protect their daughter from the media glare and requests the media to not breach the kid’s privacy. Her full statement: “Hi guys! We realise that our daughter’s images were captured at the stadium yesterday and widely shared thereafter. We want to inform everyone that we were caught off guard and didn’t know that the camera was n us. Our stance and request on the matter stays the same. We would really appreciate if Vamika’s images are not clicked/ published for reasons we have explained earlier. Thank you! (sic)”

After Vamika’s pictures and videos went viral on the internet, Virushka’s fans began a meme-fest to criticise the broadcaster for breaching the kid’s privacy. It’s been a year since the couple put out an official statement requesting the media to not click their daughter. The paparazzi even adhered to their request.

“We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older, we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice (refrain) in the matter. A special thank you to fan clubs and people of the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you (sic),” the couple had posted earlier while thanking the media and the fans for understanding their request.
