I believe that as time has gone on, celebrities have started demanding that the paparazzi respect their privacy and their requests. Which is how it should be, in my opinion. Many argue with this saying that the celebrity “signed up for this” when they became a singer, actor, sportsman etc. I personally believe that celebrities are just people who made it big in fields which entails them to be famous or popular. Being famous is a part of the job. Not the other way around. Anyway, this rant has come from a place of concern and frustration for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma as their daughter Vamika Kohli’s pictures have gone viral seemingly without their concern after they have made it clear they want to maintain their daughter’s privacy.
Virat and Anushka’s daughter Vamika’s face was shot on video while showing a one-day International match between India and South Africa. The video shows Anushka wearing a black dress with a sling bag and Vamika wearing a pink frock. Many people were excited to see baby Vamika but there were also many who were infuriated. They were not pleased with the couple’s wishes not being respected and their daughter’s video being taken and leaked against their wishes. Which I wholeheartedly agree with. Here are some of the angry Twitter reactions,
Not sure if Virat Kohli and Anushka were ready for this but if it was broadcasted without their consent, this is extremely disappointing #vamika #SAvIND @StarSportsIndia

Well, I am glad that people are respecting Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s choices. Vamika’s video should not have been broadcasted in the first place. But the fact that there are people who are celebrating it also concerns me, especially after the couple has made their stance on this matter super clear. While celebrity gossip has (and I believe always will be) trending, I feel like we as human beings can have the basic decency to respect one another and at least honour basic requests and wishes made by them.
