Controversies Missteps in Tribute To Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

While paying her homage to Late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on twitter, she misspelled his name as "ABJ Kalam Azad." After it, she was criticized on twitter, and she deleted that tweet and posted another one, which was again wrong as she wrote "APJ Kalam Azad." At the third attempt, she finally tweeted it correctly i.e. "Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam."



Relationship Turmoil

There was a rift in her relationship with Virat Kohli
for a while in the early 2016. Reportedly, the reason behind the rift was that Virat invested a good amount of money in Anushka's film Bombay Velvet, which failed at the box office. When Virat asked about the money loss to Anushka, she felt upset. Virat then unfollowed her on Twitter and Instagram, but after few months, they got back together.
