“I value privacy,”

Cricketer Virat Kohli shared a romantic Valentine’s Day message with a photograph of Anushka Sharma, and then, on International Women’s Day, he tagged her in a social media post. But the actress has always chosen to stay mum about their bond. She says she values privacy.

“I value privacy, so I will always hope that people let me be when it comes to my personal space,” Anushka told media in India  when asked if she finds it stifling being constantly under scrutiny, and how she handles it.

Having said that, Anushka feels blessed to get the love and affection of her fans.

“Scrutiny might not be easy, but it’s a minor aspect of a much more gratifying experience in the long run,” she added. In the recent past, Bollywood celebrities have spoken out more openly about their personal issues — be it about relationships or dealing with depression.

“I think it’s a personal decision that each celebrity takes individually,” actress told the mediamen in Mumbai while Virat was away to Dharamshala for the fourth test.
