Mumbai – In a heartfelt and exclusive conversation with Filmfare, actress Anushka Sharma opened up about her relationship with cricket legend Virat Kohli and her highly anticipated return to the silver screen. The candid interview provided a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of India’s most private celebrity couples.
Reflecting on her journey with Virat, Anushka described a softer, lesser-known side of the cricketer. “He’s one of the calmest persons I’ve met. Off the field, he’s so relaxed… He’s the most shaant person I know. I look at him and I’m like, ‘Wow! You’re so chill,’” she said, dispelling the common perception of Kohli’s intense on-field demeanor.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017 in an intimate ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, have often kept their personal life away from the media glare. However, in this conversation, Anushka opened up about how their relationship has matured over the years. “We both respect each other’s work, and we make sure to give each other space to grow. There’s no pressure to be perfect; we accept each other fully, flaws and all,” she said.
A Comeback Worth Waiting For
After a break from acting, Anushka is all set to make her return to films. Known for backing strong, content-driven projects through her production house Clean Slate Filmz (Paatal Lok, Bulbbul), she emphasized that she’s waited for the right script to come her way.
“I’ve taken my time, and it was important for me to do that. I didn’t want to rush back just for the sake of being seen. I wanted to choose roles that speak to me creatively and emotionally,” she said.
Though she remained tight-lipped about specific details, sources close to the production houses suggest that she is involved in two upcoming films. One is believed to be a biopic of a sports icon, while the other is a gripping drama, both set for a late 2025 or early 2026 release.
Fans React with Excitement
Fans across social media have expressed overwhelming excitement about Anushka’s return to the big screen. With a strong portfolio of performances in films like NH10, Pari, Sultan, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, her comeback is expected to deliver the same impact and emotional depth.
Anushka’s journey back to acting also coincides with a broader movement in Bollywood, where female-led narratives are increasingly gaining spotlight. She joins a growing list of actresses choosing substance-driven roles that challenge conventional storytelling.
Looking Ahead
Balancing motherhood, production, and her acting career, Anushka appears poised for a new phase—one that’s rooted in both creative ambition and personal contentment. “This feels like a new chapter,” she said, hinting at more surprises to come.
With Virat Kohli continuing to dominate cricketing headlines and Anushka Sharma re-entering the cinematic world with renewed vigor, fans will no doubt be keeping a close watch on this power couple in 2025.
