Toa, as their little one turns 3 we look back at the time Anushka Sharma opened up about her parenting style.
In an interview with Grazia India in 2021 Anushka Sharma was asked about Vamika's developing personality and her parenting style. "I find her extremely determined. I feel that if she wants to do something then she's going to do it, and I can tell that it's going to serve some purpose for her in life. It's nice to see that because I think I was like that too. My role is to guide and support her, to be her sounding board without micromanaging or being too controlling. I think an important thing to imbibe in your child is to be loving and compassionate towards everybody."
In another interview with Harper's Bazaar India, Anushka called Vamika the reason behind her laugh. "When my daughter tries to make me laugh. And when she sees that she has made me laugh, she repeats the action over and over, to make me laugh again. She's so young and tries so hard. And when I begin laughing, she enjoys it tremendously. This simple act really touches me," she said.

He then went on to explain the reason behind not sharing many pictures and videos of the baby on social media. "No we have decided as a couple to not expose our child to social media before she has an understanding of what social media is and can make her own choice," he said.
