Anushka Sharma has always stood by her cricketer husband Virat Kohli, cheering him on in matches and games. She recently was spotted at the India-Australia match for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. Although the game itself was an exciting affair, one particular incident with Anushka took everyone by surprise and went viral, with netizens reacting to it with good-humored jokes.
The Viral Moment: ‘Indian Mom Vibes’
In one such video of the match, Anushka Sharma can be spotted sitting with her eyes shut, and fans have jokingly surmised that she has dozed off. The clip became the talk of social media instantly, with people drawing comparisons with a stereotypical Indian mother who is perceived as exhausted after working all day in bringing up the children. Remarks such as, “Mothers tend to sleep like this. Classic Indian mom energy, she would be exhausted because of taking care of children,” and “She has two little ones, neend nahi poori hoti bhai moms ki!” overwhelmed social media.
Some fans also jokingly wondered if she was praying or meditating during the match. Despite the playful comments, Anushka remained unfazed, and the moment only added to her charm. India won the match by four wickets, and Virat Kohli’s stellar performance, scoring 84 runs, further elevated the joy of the day.
Anushka Sharma: Family Life and Career Pause
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, who married in 2017, have two children named Vamika and Akaay. Since giving birth to her son Akaay in 2024, Anushka has gone on a sabbatical from acting to take care of her children. Her last movie was Zero (2018), then a cameo appearance in Qala (2022). Rumors of the couple possibly moving to the UK have also been floating around, but they have yet to make any comments regarding the same.
