Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have joyously welcomed their second child into the world, a bouncing baby boy named Akaay. The Indian cricket maestro and his talented actress-wife shared the heartwarming news on February 20, Tuesday, through their social media handles.
Their bundle of joy, Akaay, made his grand entrance on February 15, filling their lives with immense happiness and love. In a heartfelt statement, the couple expressed their gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon them during this beautiful time. They humbly requested privacy and sought the good wishes of their well-wishers as they embarked on this new chapter of parenthood.
Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram to share the news, signing off the statement with “Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka.”
The power couple, who tied the knot in 2017, already shares the joy of parenting with their daughter Vamika, who celebrated her third birthday on January 11, 2021. Their commitment to family was evident when Kohli prioritized being with Anushka during the birth of their first child, opting to return home during a cricket series against Australia.
In 2021, Kohli made headlines for his decision to step back from cricket to focus on family, withdrawing from matches against England. This move garnered support from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as Kohli embraced fatherhood with dedication.
Virat Kohli’s Bundle of Joy: Introducing Baby Boy Akaay
News of Akaay’s impending arrival was initially disclosed by former South African cricket captain AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel. However, he later clarified that he was unaware of Kohli’s reasons for taking a break from cricket.
The name Akaay, with its Hindi and Turkish origins, holds profound significance. In Hindi, it signifies the “Illuminating light of the full moon,” while in Sanskrit, it conveys the essence of being “immortal” or “non-decaying.” This choice reflects the couple’s deep-rooted cultural connections and their fondness for traditional Indian names.
As Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma embrace the joys of parenthood once again, their fans shower them with love and blessings for their growing family.
