Anushka also acknowledged their relationship but decided to stay tight lipped after their bond was scrutinised by fans and took away from the focus on her work. During the promotions of NH10, Anushka was visibly upset when a journalist was more interested in her relationship than her film.

Anushka was with Virat when he earned the coveted position of captain and has been with him through thick and thin.
