In a heartwarming update from India’s cherished celebrity couple, acclaimed cricketer Virat Kohli has shared the delightful news of the arrival of their second child with his followers and fans. On February 15, Virat and his wife, renowned actress Anushka Sharma, welcomed a baby boy into their lives, expanding their lovely family of three to four. The proud parents, already cherishing their three-year-old daughter Vamika, are now beaming with joy as they embrace the newest addition to their family.
The announcement came directly from Virat Kohli’s Instagram account, which is followed by millions. The cricketer took to the social platform to express the overflowing happiness that he and Anushka are experiencing. “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 & Vamika’s little brother into this world!,” his post read. The new parents are reveling in this beautiful phase of their lives and, respecting their moment of joy, Kohli made a humble request for blessings and good wishes while also asking for privacy during these treasured moments for the family.
This news arrives amidst a period when Kohli opted out of the ongoing Test series against England for personal reasons, a decision that now becomes clearer with the birth of his son. Virat’s absence from the cricket pitch is being felt by the team and fans, but the love and support from his admirers have poured in with understanding and best wishes for his growing family. Nonetheless, the Indian cricket team is performing admirably in the Test series, currently leading 2-1 against England.
The journey of Virat and Anushka, often fondly referred to as “Virushka” by their ardent fans, has been a public one that has captivated followers from their dating days, to a fairytale wedding in Italy in December 2017, to embracing parenthood with their first child, Vamika. And now, with the birth of Akaay, their life story adds another beautiful chapter as they navigate the joys, challenges, and wonders of raising two young children.
The couple has always managed to strike a fine balance between their professional commitments and personal life, setting an example for many of their followers. Anushka Sharma, acclaimed for her versatile acting skills and roles that have left an indelible mark on Indian cinema, has been equally forthcoming in her role as a mother, often seen advocating for the privacy of her children and choosing to keep their life away from the public’s prying eyes.
For Virat Kohli, who is celebrated as one of the finest batsmen in the world of cricket, fatherhood appears to have brought a new dimension to his already illustrious career. Fans and commentators often speculate about the positive influence that his family life may have on his approach to the game. His absence from the field is a notable sacrifice, highlighting his commitment to family which stands paramount above all.
The arrival of the new member of the Kohli-Sharma family is indeed a joyous occasion, celebrated not just by the couple’s immediate relatives and friends but by countless well-wishers across the nation and around the globe. As the family takes this time to bond and relish the early days with their baby boy, the respect for their privacy is an unwritten rule that fans and the media continue to uphold.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and in the case of “Virushka”, their village transcends the norms, encapsulated by their fan base and supporters, who extend far beyond geographical boundaries. As India cheers on its cricket team in the ongoing series, they simultaneously celebrate the arrival of Akaay, a symbol of love and the beginning of another innings for Virat and Anushka.
