Indian superstar cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife, talented Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, announced on Tuesday that they became parents to a baby boy, who they have named Akaay, on February 15th.
Virat Kohli had taken a leave of absence from the ongoing Test series against England at home to be beside his wife, Anushka, in London for the birth of their second child. The couple that had gotten married in 2017, after three years of dating, first became parents in January 2021 when Anuskha gave birth to daughter Vamika.
They have named their son Akaay, the word has a few different meanings in different languages and cultures. In Turkish, ‘Akaay’ means a ‘near full moon or the illuminating light of a full moon’. In Hindi, Akaay is derived from the word ‘kaya’, which means ‘body’, and Akaay means someone more than just their physical body. In Sanskrit, Akaay means ‘immortal’.
Taking to their social media handles, the couple made a post writing, “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!” Anushka and Virat said.
“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.”
Fans erupted with joy and excitement on social media once Kohli and Anushka confirmed the news of the arrival of their baby boy. Soon funny memes and tweets started popping up on this news.
