India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood diva Anushka Sharma have together announced the birth of their second child, Akaay.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma shared the news on their Instagram handles. They said, “With abundant happiness and our 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 live,” Virat and Anushka said in a statement.

Speculations around Anushka Sharma's second pregnancy started surfacing online in November 2023 especially after she marked her presence at the Diwali bash in Bengaluru ahead of Team India's World Cup match against the Netherlands.

While the couple has remained tight-lipped about Anushka's second pregnancy, eagle-eyed fans spotted the actor's baby bump back during the Diwali event and flooded the internet with speculations.
