Actor Anushka Sharma returned to Mumbai for the first time after the birth of her and Virat Kohli`s son Akaay. The family of four is currently living in London. The actress was in the city to attend an event for a brand that she endorses. At the event, the actress spoke about parenthood, how it has changed her and Virat`s social life as well. She said that there is too much pressure to be a `perfect parent` and she and cricketer-husband Virat Kohli are anything but that. Sharma shares two children, daughter Vamika (three) and six-month-old son Akaay with Kohli.
The 36-year-old actor said it`s okay for parents to own up to their mistakes in front of children. "There`s too much pressure to be, like, this perfect parent, and we are not perfect parents. Like, we will complain about things, and then it`s okay to admit it to them (children). Just complain about it. That`s my thing. So, they know that it will be all flawed. Imagine, kids having to live up to, like, `Oh, my parents are like...` I feel like owning your mistakes in front of your kids," Sharma said at the event on Wednesday.
