Virat Kohli on how he ‘organically’ accepted Anushka Sharma’s parents as his own, calls her father ‘fearless’: ‘We are like friends’ | Bollywood News

Virat Kohli is on cloud nine at the moment as he is celebrating the first win of his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has been celebrating his victory with wife, actor Anushka Sharma. In an old interview of the cricketer, he shared that he has a great relationship with her parents and spoke about the friend-like relationship he shares with his father-in-law. He also spoke about the immediate acceptance that the Sharma family showed towards him when they met him, and how they have been accepting towards him since then.
In an earlier interview with Dinesh Karthik for Sky Sports Cricket, Virat was asked about his relationship with his in-laws as Dinesh said, “You have literally imbibed Anushka’s parents as your own parents.” Virat then said, “It’s amazing. Just the acceptance from day one was something that was so beautiful. I never felt out of place whenever I met them, whenever I went to see Anushka.”
Virat then spoke about his relationship with his father-in-law Ajay Kumar Sharma and said, “Even now, my father-in-law and me are like friends, I can literally share everything with him. And he is an ex-army man. His point of view is so fearless and so clear. It’s absolutely amazing when I speak to him about anything. And my mother-in-law as well. Just beautiful people. And my brother-in-law as well.”
