"We have lived together with love, presence and gratitude as a way of life but this little one, Vamika  has taken it to a whole new level ! Tears , laughter , worry , bliss - emotions that have been experienced in a span of minutes sometimes !” Anushka wrote in the tweet with an image of the couple holding their child.

In yet another tweet in the same thread, Anushka even shared the experience of becoming first-time parents and what it’s like raising an infant. 

Sleep is elusive but our hearts are SO full ️
Thanking you all for your wishes , prayers and good energy

“Sleep is elusive  but our hearts are SO full Thanking you all for your wishes , prayers and good energy," she added. 

Kohli came home on a BCCI sanctioned paternity leave after the first of four Test between India and Australia and had informed the rest of the world about the birth of their daughter via his social media accounts on January 11, 2021.

"We are thrilled to share with you that we've been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers, and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat,” the cricketer had written back then.

In an interview with Vogue, Anushka Sharma had talked about how the two did not wish to raise Vamika in the public eye.

“There are so many similarities in the way we are as people and the way we approach life. So I do think that will work for us. I’ve been thinking about it before I even became a parent. Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats,” the actor said.

“We’ve thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don’t plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it’s a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It’s hard enough for adults to deal with it. It’s going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through,” she added.
