This is known to all that before getting married to Virat Kohli, Anushka dated him for a long time and questions were raising if she will leave acting after marriage. One of the reporters a]once asked her if she would give up her career for love. Anusha gave a sassy reply as she said, "What is the point of this question? Why is it even being asked? Strangely, only a girl is asked these questions which I think is extremely sexist. Why is that even an option? Why should anyone think that just because you are in a relationship you have to give up your career? If people need to ask it, there’s a primary problem."
