Popular celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's bodyguard, Prakash Singh, also known as Sonu, has gained significant attention not just for his role in ensuring the couple's safety but also for his impressive salary, which reportedly exceeds that of many corporate CEOs.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma dated for several years before getting married in 2017. As two of the most influential people from their respective professional fields, the couple was subject to constant media scrutiny.

However, both Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have always craved a private life away from the media's lenses, as paparazzi culture has gained a negative footing in India.

Hence, as a security measure, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli appointed Prakash Singh, aka Sonu, to their personal security team. Sonu was reportedly hired first by Anushka before she married Virat.

Virat-Anushka Bodyguard's Salary Will Leave You In Shock!

After marriage, his responsibilities doubled, and so did his lucrative salary. According to reports, Sonu earns an annual salary of approximately ₹1.2 crore (about $150,000). This figure has raised eyebrows due to its scale, particularly compared to the salaries of CEOs of mid-sized companies in India.

However, this amount also reflects the couple's trust in Sonu and the critical role he plays in safeguarding their privacy and security, especially given Virat and Anushka's high-profile public life and their wish to keep their kids away from it. 

Notably, bodyguards receiving such high salaries is uncommon in Indian celebrity culture. Well-known Bollywood actor Salman Khan's bodyguard, Shera, is also believed to be earning crores as the actor's oldest and closest confidant.

Anushka Admits Parenting Struggles With Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are blessed with two kids, Vamika and Akaay, who spend most of their time living in London. However, as with any new parent, the power couple also struggles to manage two kids.

In a recent event, Anushka Sharma revealed that she and Virat are not perfect parents and recalled the pressure of ideal parenthood taking a toll. The actress believes that making mistakes is a part of human nature, and that being a parent is not indifferent.
