Indian cricket sensation Virat Kohli and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma have welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Akaay, into the world on February 15, marking a joyous addition to their growing family. The couple took to their social media platforms on Tuesday, February 20, to share the heartwarming news with their fans and followers, expressing their gratitude for the blessings and well-wishes pouring in. Amid the excitement of their newborn’s arrival, Kohli and Sharma have respectfully requested privacy to cherish this precious time with their expanding family.

Their union, which began in 2017, has been marked by moments of love, togetherness, and now, the joy of parenthood for the second time. Just weeks prior to Akaay’s birth, the couple celebrated their daughter Vamika’s third birthday on January 11, 2021, adding another layer of happiness to their lives.

This momentous occasion also reflects Kohli’s commitment to family, as evidenced by his decision to prioritize being with Sharma during the birth of their first child, Vamika, in 2021. Even amidst the demands of his cricketing career, Kohli made the heartfelt choice to return home from a Test series against Australia to be by his wife’s side, emphasizing the importance of family bonds above all else.

The significance of Akaay’s name, derived from both Hindi and Turkish origins, adds a poetic touch to the occasion. Meaning “Illuminating light of the full moon,” according to Google search engine results, the name embodies the hope and radiance that accompanies the arrival of a new life, further enriching the Kohli-Sharma family’s journey into parenthood.
