Anushka Sharma has been out of the limelight for a time now. Her last big-screen appearance was in the box office flop Zero, starring Shah Rukh Khan. There were many rumours that the actress and her cricketer spouse Virat Kohli were expecting their second baby. Numerous images and videos of Anushka sporting a baby bump on her outings with Virat have surfaced on social media in recent months, despite the couple preferring not to comment on any rumours regarding her second pregnancy. Now, AB de Villiers revealed the truth.
For those who don’t know, Virat Kohli missed the first two tests against England. While fans speculated about the reason for his absence, Virat Kohli’s former Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate Ab de Villiers addressed it during a YouTube live.

She said on this YouTube channel, “All I know is he is fine. He is spending a bit of time with his family, that is the reason he is missing the first two Test matches. I am not going to confirm anything else. I cannot wait to see him back. He is fine, he is happy. Let me just see what he said. I just want to at least give you a little bit of love. So I wrote to him ‘Been wanting to check in with you for a while now biscuits. How are you?’. He said ‘Just need to be with my family right now’. Then I said I am doing well.”
He added, “Yes, his second child is on the way. Yes, it’s family time and things are important to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people’s priority is family. You can’t judge Virat for that. Yes, we miss him, but he has made the right decision.”
