On Monday, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma shared a thought-provoking post on her Instagram stories. The post delved into the concept of how different versions of an individual can exist in the minds of others. Interestingly, this post comes on the heels of a statement made by her husband, renowned cricketer Virat Kohli, who had expressed his views on the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) recent directive limiting players' family time. While Anushka's post did not explicitly reference her husband's comments or the BCCI's decision, the timing of her message has led to speculation about a possible connection between the two.
The actress wrote on her IG Story, “A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you. The person you think of as ‘yourself’ only exists for you, and even you don’t really know who that is. Every person you meet, have a relationship with, or make eye contact on the street with, creates a version of ‘you’ in their heads.”
“You’re not the same person to your mom, your dad, your siblings as you are to your co-workers, your neighbors or your friends. There are a thousand different versions of yourself out there, in people’s minds. A ‘you’ exists in each version and yet your ‘you’, ‘yourself’ isn’t really a ‘someone’ at all,” the note further read.

The BCCI has introduced a stringent travel policy, which stipulates that players who are away from India for more than 45 days during overseas tours will be allowed to have their partners and children (under the age of 18) visit them for a maximum period of two weeks, with only one such visit permitted per series, differentiated by format.
Reacting to it, Virat Kohli, while speaking during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit, said, “It's very difficult to explain to people how grounding it is to just come back to your family every time you have something which is intense, which happens on the outside.”
“I don't think people have an understanding of what value it brings to a large extent. And I feel quite disappointed about that because it's like people who have no control over what's going on are kind of brought into conversations and put out at the forefront that, 'oh, maybe they need to be kept away',” he further added.
