Vamika’s 5th Birthday: Virushka Best Parenting Moments

New Delhi, january 13, 2026: As Vamika Kohli celebrates her 5th birthday on January 11, 2026, the world continues to be fascinated by the mindful parenting approach of India’s most beloved power couple, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. Despite their global fame, “Virushka” has remained fiercely protective of their daughter’s privacy, choosing to share wisdom and values rather than photos.

Here are five heartwarming times the couple opened up about their journey with Vamika.

1. The “Motherhood Paradox” (January 2026)

Marking Vamika’s milestone fifth birthday, Anushka shared a deeply personal reflection on how her life has transformed. Resharing a post that described motherhood as a “paradox of love and exhaustion,” she penned a heart-melting note:

“I wouldn’t go back to any version of me that did not know you, my child.”

This latest tribute emphasizes her commitment to the “new version” of herself that emerged after Vamika’s birth in 2021.

2. Vamika’s “Determined” Personality

In an interview with Grazia, Anushka revealed that even as a toddler, Vamika showed a strong sense of purpose. She described her daughter as “extremely determined,” noting that if Vamika decides to do something, she follows through. Anushka admitted she sees a reflection of her own younger self in this trait and aims to be a “sounding board” for her daughter rather than a micromanaging parent.

3. Virat on “Intent” and Values

Virat Kohli has often spoken about the legacy he wants to leave for Vamika—and it isn’t about trophies. During a 2024 conversation, Virat emphasized the quality of intent. He shared that he wants Vamika to understand that if your intent is right and you give 100%, you will succeed in whatever you choose. He famously stated that he wants no part of his career achievements flashed in his house so his children can grow up with a sense of “normalcy.”

4. The Joy of the “Family Room”

While the world see them on red carpets or cricket grounds, the couple’s “ideal Sunday” is surprisingly simple. Virat once shared that their happiest moments involve:

• Chilling in the family room with coffee.
• Playing with blocks and coloring with Vamika.
• Moving to London to enjoy quiet walks without the media glare. This focus on “slow living” has become the hallmark of their parenting style since becoming a family of four with the arrival of their son, Akaay.

5. Why They Choose Privacy

Perhaps the most discussed topic is their “no-photo” policy. Virat once explained during an Instagram Q&A that they decided as a couple not to expose Vamika to social media until she has an understanding of what it is and can make her own choice. They believe no child should be treated as “more special” than another due to their parents’ fame, ensuring Vamika and Akaay grow up grounded.
