Virat’s brother, Vikas Kohli, took to Instagram to share a picture of a newborn baby’s feet to represent Virushka’s baby girl and welcome her into the world. The picture took the internet by storm and was overloaded with cuteness even though it was a picture of a random baby’s tiny feet wrapped up in a cozy blanket. Vikas captioned the photo, “Happiness overboard… angel in the house” and used a welcome GIF. Several people expressed their happiness and shared their wishes in the comments.
Anushka mentioned that the baby’s nursery would be a neutral color with an animal theme in an interview. She revealed that she does not believe in dressing up boys in blue and girls in pink. The new mom stated that she and Virat love animals, and they would like their baby to have that bond. She said that animals have been a big part of their lives, and they believe that it’s a great way to teach children kindness and compassion.
