Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and her husband, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli welcomed a baby girl on Monday, 11 January. The Indian cricket team captain shared the news on social media, adding that both the mother and the baby are healthy.

He wrote, “We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat.”

The couple had announced their pregnancy in August 2020.

Just last month in December, Anushka shared a photograph on Instagram account where she could be seen performing the Shirshasana with Virat's help. Her yoga teacher virtually assisted her while the actress performs the asana by leaning against a wall, head down.

"This exercise is hands-down (and legs up) the most difficult one #Throwback. P.S. — As yoga is a big part of my life, my doctor recommended that I can do all such asanas that I was doing before I was pregnant barring twists & extreme forward bends, but of course with the appropriate and required support." Anushka wrote.

"For the Shirshasana, which I have been doing for many years, I ensured that I used the wall for support and also my very able husband supporting me balance, to be extra safe. This was also done under the supervision of my yoga teacher @eefa_shrof who was virtually with me through this session. I'm so glad I could continue my practice through my pregnancy," she added.

Anushka had also shared that she will get back to shooting once she delivers her first child, reported IANS.

"Being on the set brings me a lot of joy and I'm going to be shooting continuously for the next few days. I will be back shooting again once I deliver my first child and establish a system at home that ensures me to balance my child, my home and my professional life. I intend to keep working for as long as I live because acting truly makes me happy," said Anushka, who is currently shooting for endorsements.
