Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcome their second child, Akaay.


 Industrialist Harsh Goenka made a clue on his X account last week. In a few days, a baby is going to be born, he wrote. "A new baby is to be born in the next few days!" he wrote. Like the greatest cricket father, I hope the baby takes India to new heights. Or will it become a movie star and follow the mother?

Actress Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli announced the birth of their second child, a boy, in a statement on Tuesday. The boy has been named "Akaay" by the couple. 

"With abundant happiness and our hearts all of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay/àä…àä•àä¾àäï & Vamika's little brother into this world!"

"At this wonderful time in our lives, we ask for your blessings and well wishes. At this moment, we humbly ask that you respect our privacy."


Following around four years of dating, Kohli and Sharma were married in a magical wedding in December 2017. Vamika, the couple's daughter, was born in January 2021.

 "Body" is what akaay signifies. The meaning of the word is "someone who is more than his body." The word 'Akaay' means'shining moon' in Turkish.

Subsequently, cricket player AB De Villiers confirmed that he was expecting his second kid. Indeed, he values things and it's family time. You lose sight of your purpose in life if you are not authentic and honest to yourself. Family is, I believe, what most people prioritise. 

Later on, though, he recanted his statement.
