Actor and producer Anushka Sharma is spending some time away from the big screen to be with her newborn. She and Virat Kohli became parents to girl earlier this year and they named her Vamika. Although Anushka had plans of getting back to work soon after birth of her child but reports suggest that she has decided to extend her maternity leave in order to avoid health risks.

A source clsoe to her shared, "Anushka’s present priority is her newborn baby. She doesn’t want to take any kind of risk by stepping out for shoots at a time when everything is so uncertain. Furthermore, scientists, doctors, and healthcare specialists have predicted a possible third wave in India around October which is projected to affect children and would largely target Maharashtra. Anushka is taking all the safety protocols and not stepping out at all. She has instructed her team to not plan any shootings for this year.”

Anushka's primary focus in her career is going to be the production part. Her company Clean Slate Filmz is involved with several exciting upcoming projects. These include 'Paatal Lok' seaosn 2, 'Qala' and several others.
