Maintaining work-life balance: How Virat and Anushka keep their personal and professional apart

The couple never lets their career affect their relationship.

BCCL
NEW DELHI: Anushka Sharma says even though she and her husband, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, love their respective professions, they never let it affect their personal life.

The actor said they do not let their professions come in between and love life like any other normal couple.

"We try to create a proper work-life balance. Both of us really love doing what we do professionally. Our priorities are very clear in life. But at the same time we try and find time to do something together. We don't take our professions or our career too seriously. "We don't draw our identity only from that. We are very simple and like doing normal things. For the world it is about our professions. But in reality it is just normal. It is as normal as any one would be in a relationship. We don't see each other in terms of our profession," Anushka said during a session at the India Today Mind Rocks 2018.
