Anushka Sharma & Virat Kohli welcome baby boy Akaay
Bollywood power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli took to social media to share the joyous news of the arrival of their second child, a baby boy named Akaay, born on February 15. In identical posts, the couple expressed their happiness, saying, “With abundant happiness and hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay and Vamika’s little brother into this world. 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 and gratitude, Virat and Anushka.”
The announcement sparked an outpouring of congratulations from friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry. Alia Bhatt commented, “How beautiful, congratulations,” while Ranveer Singh left hearts and good wishes. Shweta Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor also extended their congratulations, with Rakul Preet Singh sending blessings.
Speculation about Anushka Sharma’s pregnancy had circulated as Virat Kohli took a break from India’s Test series against England. Despite no official pregnancy announcement, cricketer AB de Villiers inadvertently revealed the news, later retracting his statement. Industrialist Harsh Goenka added to the anticipation with a cryptic tweet, “A new baby is to be born in the next few days! Hope the baby takes India to great heights like the greatest cricketing father. Or will it follow the mother and be a film star? #MadeInIndia #ToBeBornInLondon.” The couple now looks forward to this new chapter with the birth of their son, Akaay.
