Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma can be hailed as one of the power couples in the entertainment industry. The couple's love story began soon after they met during the shoot of an advertisement. Well, cut to now, they have been making us go gaga with their fairytale love story. For the uninitiated, Virat and Anushka got married in 2017, and they became parents to Vamika in 2021. Earlier this year, the duo's family was completed with the arrival of their son, Akaay.
Well, did you know that during Anushka Sharma's first pregnancy, Virat Kohli wanted his nutritionist to plan his wife's diet? Recently, nutritionist, Ryan Fernando, in a conversation with Yasmin Karachiwala revealed that Virat contacted him and his team when the cricketer wanted the betterment of his diet habits. Being a fitness freak, the cricketer already had a good grasp of this arena, and they worked together for the betterment of the cricketer's diet.

In the same conversation, Ryan Fernando revealed that Virat Kohli is good with research, and it was during the pandemic when the cricketer got to know about the former's team of medical dietitians, and since he was expecting his first child with Anushka back then, he had a special request. Ryan shared that Virat asked him if he and his team could develop a nutrition plan for his then-pregnant wife, Anushka, and handle her trimester nutrition plans. In Ryan's words:
"During this journey, Virat learned that I have a team of medical dietitians, and since they were expecting their first child, he asked if we could develop a nutrition plan for Anushka. He wanted me to handle her trimester nutrition plans, which we did very successfully."
Cravings for yummylicious treats are very common amongst preggos, but Anushka's case was different. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Anushka revealed that for the first three months of her first pregnancy, she was only eating toast and crackers, and had no special cravings. However, the actress also revealed that she wanted to eat vada pao and bhel puri. Anushka further added that she is very keen about learning things, and she just 'chewed up her doctor's brain' with a whole lot of questions. The doctor revealed the biggest myth among preggos to Anushka and stated that everyone thinks that they eat for two people while being pregnant.
There's no second thought about the fact that Virat is a hands-on husband. From crediting her for his success, to taking utmost care of her, Virat often raises the scale high. Well, apart from being a loving husband, Virat is a doting dad to his kids, Vamika and Akaay. When Anushka was pregnant with her first child, Virat took a two-month break so that he could be there with the actress during this crucial phase. Not only this, when Anushka was expecting Akaay, then also, Virat took a break from the England series to be with his family, which proves he is not only a dutiful Indian player, but also a family man.
