"Anushka, my lady luck, has taught me tehzeeb", said Indian Cricket Captain Virat Kohli in a candid chat with Gaurav Kapur on Breakfast with Champions.
He said he is thankful to Anushka for teaching him poise and making his life better.
Kohli also credits Anushka for his decision to move away from social media. He says Anushka made him realise that he would end up disturbing his peace of mind if he kept reading everything that people had to say about him.
"I post stuff on social media but I don't want to read the comments."
He also talked about how Anushka supported him immensely when he was not being able to perform during the England tour. The couple had faced a lot of flak from the audience who blamed Anushka for Kohli's poor performance.
"Anushka was there with me on my next trip to Australia and I was scoring good runs."
He said colleague and confidante Zaheer Khan had advised him to never be secretive about his relationships. Although the Indian Captain doesn’t indulge in displaying his affection on social media, he believes in being open about his relationship.
