Anushka Sharma reacts angrily to publication sharing Vamika’s pictures on social media

Anushka Sharma has reacted violently to a photo of her one-year-old daughter Vamika that was posted on Instagram by a tabloid. Vamika’s picture was shared on the publication’s Instagram account after she returned from her recent Maldives trip with mother Anushka Sharma and father Virat Kohli. Vamika’s privacy has been aggressively protected by Anushka and Virat, who have asked the media and photographers not to photograph her.

After the publication shared the now-deleted post on Tuesday, Anushka commented, “Seems like times group knows what’s better for kids than their parents themselves as they can’t stop clicking and posting photos despite being requested repeatedly. Learn something from other media houses and paparazzi.” The post had also tagged Vamika along with Anushka and Virat and included hashtags of their names as well.

Currently, Instagram has hidden all posts with the hashtags–Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli and Vamika Kohli. One of the messages read, “Top posts from #anushkasharma are currently hidden because the community has reported some content that may not meet Instagram’s community guidelines.” Many fans speculated if it was because the pictures contained Vamika’s face.

Earlier this year, Vamika’s picture was shared on social media after the mother-daughter duo attended Virat’s cricket match at a stadium. Anushka and Vamika were watching the Indian cricket team play against South Africa in Cape Town when the official broadcaster of the match showed them cheering for Virat in the stands. For the first time, Vamika’s face was also revealed. Many social media users took screenshots of the moment and shared them online. Even certain media houses had shared the pictures even as fans of Anushka and Virat requested everyone to not share Vamika’s pictures.

The following day, Anushka and Virat Kohli had issued statements. On Instagram Stories, Anushka wrote, “Hi guys! We realise that our daughter’s images were captured at the stadium yesterday and widely shared thereafter. We want to inform everyone that we were caught off guard and didn’t know that the camera was on us. Our stance and request on the matter stays the same. We would really appreciate if Vamika’s images are not clicked/published for reasons we have explained earlier.” Virat shared the same note on his Instagram Stories.
