Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, affectionately known as “Virushka,” are one of India’s most cherished celebrity couples. Having been happily married for over six years, Virat proves to be a devoted husband as well as an exceptional cricketer. He frequently acknowledges Anushka’s influence on his success and goes above and beyond to care for her, setting a high standard for what it means to be a supportive partner.

Now, the cricketer’s nutritionist has revealed that Virat reached out to them to plan the actress’ nutrition throughout her pregnancy when they were expecting their first child. In a recent conversation with pilates trainer Yasmin Karachiwala, Virat Kohli’s nutritionist, Ryan Fernando, revealed that the cricketer reached out to him and his team when he wanted to improve his diet habits.

Ryan added that, as a fitness enthusiast, Kohli had a solid understanding of the fitness realm, which made their collaboration on a tailored plan seamless. He further elaborated that Virat has always excelled at research, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he delved deeper into the expertise of his medical dietitian team. Additionally, Ryan revealed that since Virat and Anushka were expecting their first child at the time, Virat made a unique request regarding his nutritional plan.

Ryan revealed that Virat reached out to him to create a tailored nutrition plan for Anushka Sharma, considering both of them are vegetarians. Consequently, Ryan and his team developed specific nutrition plans for each trimester of Anushka’s pregnancy.

“During this journey, Virat learnt that I have a team of medical dietitians, and since they were expecting their first child, he asked if we could develop a nutrition plan for Anushka. He wanted me to handle her trimester nutrition plans, which we did very successfully,” he concluded.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot in December 2017. Later, the couple became proud parents to their first child, daughter Vamika, on January 11, 2021. This year, they welcomed a boy, Akaay, on February 15, 2024.

On the work front, Anushka Sharma was last seen in the 2018 film Zero alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The actress is now awaiting the release of Chakda Xpress after a six-month hiatus. The biopic, based on the life of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami, will be released on Netflix.
