During her appearance at an event in Mumbai, Anushka Sharma got candid about her parenting journey with Virat Kohli while highlighting the pressure to be "perfect parents". Anushka mentioned the imperfections of being a parent while suggesting that she believes in their normalization.

"There is so much pressure to be like this perfect parent. We are not perfect parents; we will complain about things, and it is okay to admit it to them also. So they know that you are flawed," Anushka said at the event.

The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actress added that owning to mistakes as parents makes it easier for everyone in the family. "Imagine kids having to live up to, 'Oh, my parents are like this’. So owning your mistakes makes (it easier)," she expressed.

Anushka Sharma further emphasized about imbibing good values in her kids, daughter Vamika and son Akaay. The 36-year-old actress stated that Vamika is "very young" to teach her anything as of now. Anushka shared that the couple becomes an example for her kids to perceive how they lead their lives.
