Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma joyfully announced the arrival of their second child, Akaay, on February 15. The couple shared the news on their Instagram, garnering a flood of congratulatory messages from fans and celebrities alike.
An old interview of Virat is now making rounds on social media, where he had previously expressed his commitment to allocating quality time to his family, especially after having kids. In an interview with ESPN, Virat emphasized that his life, family, and children deserve his undivided attention. He stated, “I want no part of my career being flashed into my house. I want no part of my trophies, my achievements, nothing in my house when our kids are growing up.” Virat also credited Anushka for bringing peace and calm into his life during the interview.
The couple shared a heartfelt note on Instagram on February 20, expressing their happiness and introducing their baby boy, Akaay, as Vamika’s little brother. They sought blessings and good wishes from well-wishers, requesting privacy during this special time in their lives.
Virat Kohli’s absence from the India Vs. England Test matches was explained by his friend and South African cricketer AB de Villiers in a live session on his official YouTube channel. AB de Villiers revealed that Virat and Anushka were expecting their second child, which led to Virat missing the cricket matches.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma had tied the knot on December 11, 2017, and welcomed their first child, Vamika, in 2021. The couple’s growing family continues to be a source of joy for their fans and well-wishers.
