Are Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli permanently moving to London for this reason?

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot in 2017 and are now parents to two children. Reports have now suggested the couple is shifting base to London permanently to preserve their privacy. They are often clicked in London too.

In a statement last year, the actress said, “I enjoy acting but I don’t want to do too many films as much as I was doing earlier. I want to do one film a year, enjoy the process of acting which is what I like and balance my life out like the way I am, give time to family.”

Kohli also said, “We were not in the country. Just to feel normal for two months – for me, my family – it was a surreal experience. Couldn’t have been more grateful to God for the opportunity to spend time with the family. It’s an amazing experience to just be another person on the road and not be recognised.”

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their second baby son, Akaay, in February in London. The couple moved to the UK to keep the pregnancy private.

Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma announced the birth of their second child, Akaay, via Instagram on February 20. The celebrity couple has kept their location under wraps for quite some time, with fans anticipating that they jetted off to London, last month, and Akaay was born there .

Going by the speculations about their UK visit, many wonder if the new-born will automatically acquire British citizenship for his birthplace being London. There are some fans, who believe Akaay will be granted British citizenship as his father, Kohli, owns a residential property in the UK capital. Neither of these facts, however, are enough for a child to earn citizenship in the UK.

As per the laws governing citizenship in the country, not every child born in the UK is eligible to claim citizenship. This can happen when one of its parents is a UK citizen or has been settled in the country for a prolonged period.
