It`s A Baby Boy For Anushka Sharma And Virat Kohli!
Amidst the speculations of her being pregnant, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli put a full stop to all the rumors, as they actually turned out to be true. The couple welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on February 15. They named the little one Akaay.
Yet another unique name in the Sharma-Kohli family, the actor-cricketer couple kept their second pregnancy away from the public eye. Both Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma refrained from commenting on the pregnancy speculation and were tight-lipped throughout.
While reports of them delivering their second child in London were catching up on the internet, the couple took social media by storm as they announced the rather pleasant news of them embracing parenthood for the second time.
The couple already shares a daughter, Vamika Kohli, who was born in 2021.
They were equally private when Vamika was born. Both Virat and Anushka even requested fans and paparazzi not to photograph their daughter. It would be no different this time as well.

Sharing the good news on Instagram, the former Indian skipper wrote, "With abundant happiness and our hearts all filled with love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on February 15th, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay and Vamika`s little brother into this world!"
"We seek your blessings and good wishes at this beautiful time in our lives. We request that you kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love and gratitude. Virat and Anushka," he concluded.
Ever since her birth, motherhood has drastically changed the actress. In an old interview, she recalled how filming her upcoming movie, Chakda Xpress, barely gave her enough time with her daughter.
"The entire last year went into filming Chakda. I’d finish shooting and would have only that much time to spend time with my daughter, feed her dinner, follow her night-time routine, and go to bed early soon after her. I don’t think I found time to do anything else. I’m okay with doing more movies, but only if it’s worth taking my time out for and if it makes sense. I don’t want to do movies just to stay in the game; I’m very clear about that. It would have to be a film like Chakda," said Anushka.

The Patiala House actress further added, "It has internally made me a far more confident individual; I feel I’m way more confident as a person. It’s a very real thing- caring for another human and putting the child first in everything. I want to mention this—that it’s so important to have this connection with your child."
"I’m so hands-on, and I do everything for her, and I enjoy doing it, so the bond is very special. I feel that she’s turning into a secure individual, and I’m happy about that,” she concluded.
