Virushka (Kohli and Anushka) have been vocal about not showing her daughter's face to the world as of now. Recently, Kohli was questioned on social media as to the reason for it. He replied, "No, we have decided as a couple to not expose our child to social media before she has an understanding of what social media is and can make her own choice."
