Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have always kept thier children Vamika and Akaay away from the public eye. Their celebrity status and popularity make it difficult for them to hide their children but the couple has strived hard to maintain that. In a recent interview, Anushka opened up on parenting and their decision to keep children away from the public eye. She also spoke about the importance of raising kids with the right values.

The actress said during a chat with Vogue, "Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what's important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don't want to raise brats."

She added, "Times have changed. It's important for children to look at their parents—they learn from you. And there is a sense of normalcy that both of us do work. Of course, one will have to manage things differently and more efficiently to work."

Talking about parenting and how difficult it is, Anushka added, "You have to learn as you go; you can't pressurise yourself, but you have to be prepared because there will be curveballs."

The 'Band Baaja Baaraat' actress also opened up on raising her children away from the limelight. She said, "We've thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don't plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it's a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It's hard enough for adults to deal with it. It's going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through."

The actress has largely been spending time away from movies, ever since she embraced motherhood and is being quite selective about her work.
