Actress
Anushka
Sharma
and
her
cricketer-husband
Virat
Kohli
welcomed
their
first
child,
a
baby
girl
on
January
11,
2021.
Since
then,
fans
have
been
eagerly
waiting
to
catch
the
first
glimpse
of
the
newborn.
When
'Virushka'
had
announced
the
arrival
of
their
child,
the
social
media
was
flooded
with
name
suggestions
for
baby
Kohli.
Today,
Anushka
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
reveal
that
she
and
Virat
have
named
their
daughter
Vamika.
For
those
wondering
what
this
name
means,
it's
one
of
the
many
names
of
Goddess
Durga,
who
is
considered
the
god
of
war,
strength
and
protection.
Besides
the
name
announcement,
the
Zero
actress
also
shared
a
glimpse
of
her
bundle
of
joy.
In
the
picture
shared
by
Anushka,
we
see
Virat
and
the
actress
lovingly
gazing
at
their
tiny
tot.
Anushka
wrote,
"We
have
lived
together
with
love
,
presence
and
gratitude
as
a
way
of
life
but
this
little
one
,
Vamika
❤️
has
taken
it
to
a
whole
new
level!"
Speaking
about
how
parenthood
has
changed
their
lives,
she
continued,
"Tears,
laughter,
worry,
bliss
-
emotions
that
have
been
experienced
in
a
span
of
minutes
sometimes!
Sleep
is
elusive
😛
but
our
hearts
are
SO
full
❤️."
The
actress
further
expressed
her
gratitude
towards
fans
for
their
love
and
good
wishes,
and
added,
"Thanking
you
all
for
your
wishes
,
prayers
and
good
energy
🤗."
Anushka's
post
received
a
lot
of
love
from
the
netizens.
Vaani
Kapoor,
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
dropped
a
heart
emoticon.
"Vamika
💙
So
Cute
Name💕," commented
an
Instagram
user.
Another
comment
read,
"Big
love
to
you
guys!
Such
exciting
times.
💕."
Earlier,
Virat
and
Anushka
had
issued
a
statement
in
which
they
had
requested
the
paparazzi
not
to
click
their
daughter's
pictures
because
they
want
to
protect
her
privacy.
In
an
interview
with
Vogue
magazine,
the
actress
had
said
that
they
will
keep
things
private,
at
least
for
a
while.
"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
was
quoted
as
saying.
