Actress Anushka Sharma made her first public appearance with her husband and cricketer Virat Kohli since giving birth to a baby girl two weeks ago.

They welcomed their first child on January 11.

Virat, made the official announcement on the microblogging website, saying both the mother and the baby are doing well.

The couple were all smiles as they posed for paparazzi after stepping out of a clinic in Mumbai on Thursday evening.

Anushak looked stunning in an all-denim attire. She even thanked the shutterbugs for respecting their privacy.

While announcing the birth of their daughter, Virat had earlier tweeted, “We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers, and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time.”

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, who tied the knot in 2017, announced last August that they were expecting a baby. They wrote on their respective social media accounts, “And then we were three! Arriving Jan 2021.”

Congratulatory messages flooded their posts instantly – many of these were from the couple’s celeb friends such as Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sania Mirza, Kiara Advani, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Taapsee Pannu, Dia Mirza and Parineeti Chopra.
