Anushka Sharma – Virat Kohli wife – bio, facts, age, and Instagram photos

As the age-old adage states, “Behind every successful man stands a strong woman,” and in Virat Kohli's case, that woman is Anushka Sharma.

This article delves into the intriguing life of Anushka Sharma, the woman who has captured Kohli's heart and served as his inspiration, providing him with a fresh outlook on life.

Who Is Anushka Sharma? 

While Sharma may be known as the wife of Kohli, she had stepped into the spotlight long before Kohli came into her life. Sharma is a well-known Bollywood actor who has also garnered significant attention in recent years for her work as a producer. 

Her acting journey began with a notable debut in Aditya Chopra's romantic drama Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan, resulting in tremendous success at the box office. Further cementing her popularity, Sharma's third film, Band Baaja Baaraat, propelled her to become a household name across India.

Sharma's career soared to new heights in 2014 with her portrayal of a television journalist in the critically acclaimed film PK, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Sharing the screen with Aamir Khan, who portrayed the role of an alien, Sharma captivated audiences with her powerful performance.

Prominent film critic Saibal Chatterjee lauded Sharma's performance, emphasizing her portrayal of a strong-willed, poetry-loving young woman who defied the typical stereotypes often found in Hindi cinema. PK's extraordinary success elevated it to the pinnacle of Bollywood's box office, as it emerged as the highest-grossing film in the history of Indian cinema, accumulating an astounding worldwide revenue exceeding ₹7 billion (US$88 million).

Sharma's creative pursuits expanded beyond acting when she co-founded Clean Slate Filmz, a production company that spearheaded many compelling projects. Among the notable productions under Clean Slate Filmz are NH10, a gripping film, and the critically acclaimed web series Paatal Lok (2020). Although the latter faced backlash from conservative circles, it garnered immense appreciation from audiences and critics alike, underscoring Sharma's ability to deliver captivating content that resonates with diverse audiences.

Sharma's remarkable talent has been acknowledged through numerous accolades, including a prestigious Filmfare Award. She ranks among the highest-paid actors in India, which cements her position as a prominent figure in the Indian entertainment industry. Sharma's achievements have also earned her a spot on Forbes Asia's esteemed 30 Under 30 list in 2018.
