Joy in the Kohli-Sharma household! On February 15th, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma announced the arrival of their second child, a baby boy named Akaay. The couple shared the happy news on their respective Instagram accounts, expressing their overwhelming joy and requesting privacy during this special time.
“With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world!” – announced Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma on their Instagram, sharing the joyous news of their second child’s arrival.
The power couple’s joint post expresses their overflowing emotions and extends gratitude for the well wishes, while also requesting privacy: “We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude, Virat & Anushka.”
Earlier, former RCB teammate and South African legend AB de Villiers sparked speculations by mentioning Kohli’s second child in a YouTube video.
“Yes, his second child is on the way. Yes, it’s family time and things are important to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people’s priority is family. You can’t judge Virat for that.”, De Villiers had said on his YouTube channel.
While he later clarified his statement, it fueled fans’ anticipation for official confirmation.
Kohli’s absence from the ongoing Test series against England had garnered attention, with his initial request for “personal time” leaving participation uncertain. Now, with the birth of baby Akaay, the reason for his leave becomes clear. Kohli will utilize his paternity leave to be with his family and miss the remaining Tests.
Baby Akaay’s arrival marks a joyous occasion for the Kohli-Sharma family, expanding their loving circle. Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, sharing their happiness and showering the couple with love.
