Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli Embrace Parenthood: Meet Baby Akaay!

Amidst a wave of anticipation and heartfelt congratulations, the cricketing world rejoices as Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli announce the arrival of their newest family member, baby Akaay. As speculation mounted over his absence, the world watched in silence while Kohli maintained a deliberate distance from social media. The veil of mystery was briefly lifted by AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel, where he disclosed that Kohli was taking time off to be with his family due to the imminent arrival of his second child. This revelation eased concerns and reassured fans that the former India captain was in good spirits.

Kohli and Anushka welcomed their first child, Vamika, on January 1, 2021. Kohli, who was mindful of the due date, participated in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia during the second week of December 2020 before returning home to be by his wife’s side. This instance differed significantly, as the couple had publicly announced Anushka’s pregnancy well in advance, unlike this time when they chose to keep it private. Now, Kohli and Anushka have been blessed with Akaay, born on February 15. Kohli opted out of the entire England series, and both he and Anushka have requested fans to respect their privacy during this time.
The couple individually took to their respective social media profiles to share details about their decision and the arrival of their newest family member, Akaay. In heartfelt messages, they expressed gratitude for the well-wishes pouring. Kohli and Anushka’s thoughtful posts reflected their commitment to cherishing these precious moments away from the public eye while also acknowledging the support and love extended by their fans and well-wishers.


“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 & 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 & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka.” said the couple in their Instagram posts.

Significance of Names: Akaay and Vamika

The name Akaay, with Turkish origins, carries a profound meaning across different cultures. In Hindi, it signifies “Illuminating light of the full moon,” resonating with brightness and radiance. In Sanskrit, Akaay represents “immortality” or “non-decaying,” symbolizing endurance and everlastingness. On the other hand, Vamika, the name of Kohli and Anushka’s first child, holds its own significance. Vamika, rooted in Sanskrit, means “goddess Durga,” embodying strength, power, and divine grace. Both names reflect the couple’s deep cultural connections and their reverence for traditional Indian values and beliefs.
