Flavoured dry fruits to dark chocolates: Anushka and Virat send out gift hampers to paparazzi after baby's birth

Celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma sent out personalised letters to the paparazzi, requesting them to not photograph their newborn daughter. Photographer Viral Bhayani has shared a video of the gift hamper that Virat and Anushka sent him and his team, and it is filled with goodies. Along with a personalised note addressed to him and his team, the gift hamper included flavoured dry fruits, a bar of dark chocolate, fusion mithai and a scented candle. The hamper arrived in big wooden boxes and was all things fancy and aesthetic. In the note, Virat and Anushka wrote, “Hi, Thank you for all the love that you have given us for all these years. We are happy to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. As parents, we have a simple request to make to you. We want to protect the privacy of our child and we need your help and support."

“While we will always ensure that you get all the content you need featuring us, we would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child. We know that you will understand where we are coming from and we thank you for the same,” they added. Virat and Anushka welcomed a baby girl on Monday afternoon. He shared the joyous news with fans via a statement shared on social media. “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. Love, Virat,” the statement read.  Actress Raveena Tandon, too, thanked the paparazzi for paying heed to her request and commented, "Totally agree with that sentiment and kudos to all our photographers for always respecting people’s wishes . You guys would always keep my request too when I didn’t want you all to click my children’s pics when they were younger , and I take this opportunity to thank you for being kind enough."
