Anushka Sharma is a well-known Bollywood actress and wife of cricketer Virat Kohli. Recently, in an interview, she disclosed her family’s dinner routine. Adding to it, she even shared the parenting choices she has made for her children. Anushka and Virat are blessed with two children, a daughter Vamika, and a son Akaay.
At a promotional event, she shared her reasons for adopting an early dinner schedule. She talked about how it benefits her family.
Anushka Sharma stated that her routine of having dinner at 5:30 PM started as a matter of convenience. Her daughter Vamika would often want to eat her dinner early. During this time, Anushka found herself alone. So, she decided to join Vamika for dinner instead of eating late. This decision soon became a routine. Anushka said,
“It started out as convenience because my daughter would want her dinner early. She would eat it around 5.30, and most of the time it would be me and her home alone. So, I’d think, what am I going to do now? I might as well sleep.”
She noticed a lot of benefits, which included a better sleep schedule and clarity of thought. Anushka highlighted the positive changes in her lifestyle,
“I started to see the benefits—I slept better, felt fresher in the morning, there was less brain fog.”
She added that what started as a convenience is now something that the entire family follows, including Virat. Anushka said, “It was out of convenience, but it’s something that the entire family does.”
How It Has Influenced Growing Up In An Army Background?
Born into an army family, Anushka was raised with a strong sense of discipline. A value that she passionately wants to pass on to her children. She shared a story from her childhood, remembering how her father used to calmly handle the situation if we refused to eat food. Giving an example, she said,
“For example, if we were being finicky on the table and didn’t want to eat something, our father wouldn’t shout at us. He’d just say, ‘Sure, you can leave. But when you’re hungry, that’s what you’re going to eat.’ These things are important because then we value what our parents would do for us.”
Anushka hopes to implement the same discipline and values in her children. She teaches them how it is important to be disciplined and grateful. She mentioned how setting a fixed routine for meal and sleep times provides her children with a better sense of stability and control. Especially when constant changes are brought up due to a heavy travel lifestyle. So, Anushka tries her level best to give her kids a better routine.
Impact Of Social Media And Modern Parenting
She discussed how advice available on social media has impacted her parenting decisions. Remarking on social media, Anushka said,
“It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m struggling with this,’ and boom, the Instagram algorithm, which is going to tell you what wrong you’re doing with your kid and what you just do instead. It’s a great blessing; sometimes it can drive you insane.”
She shared,
“I read somewhere, ‘Let’s eat together, shut the kitchen, and now it’s something the entire family does. You should follow kids’ routines.”
What she wants to say is that not all advice on the internet works for everyone. Her known experience taught her this. Virat Kohli has given credit to her with a profound impact on his life. Particularly, commitment to truth and integrity is what he has learned from her.
