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

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli got married in 2017 and are now parents to two children. Reports now suggest that the couple is shifting base to London permanently to preserve their privacy. They are also often clicked in London.

In a statement last year, the actress said: “I enjoy acting, but I don’t want to do as many films as I used to. I want to do one film a year, enjoy the process of acting, which is what I enjoy, and balance my life the way I am, make time for family.”

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

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their second child, 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 kept the location under wraps for quite some time, with fans anticipating that they flew to London last month and Akaay was born there.

Going by the speculations about his visit to the UK, many are wondering whether the newborn will automatically acquire British citizenship since his birthplace is London. There are some fans who believe that Akaay will be granted British citizenship since his father, Kohli, owns a residential property in the UK capital. However, none of these facts are enough for a child to gain citizenship in the UK.

Under the laws governing citizenship in the country, not every child born in the UK is eligible to claim citizenship. This may happen when one of the parents is a UK citizen or has been living in the country for an extended period.
