Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma blessed with baby boy

In a recent update, the former Indian captain and renowned batter, Virat Kohli, has welcomed his second child. Anushka Sharma, the cricketer's wife, took to social media to share the joyous news, expressing immense happiness and hearts brimming with love. 

Kohli and Anushka were thrilled to announce the arrival of their baby boy, Akaay, Vamika's little brother. The couple appreciated the blessings and well-wishes during this special time in their lives and kindly requested respect for their privacy at this moment.

While rumours had been swirling on the internet about Anushka's pregnancy, the couple had kept tight-lipped about it until now. Now, putting all speculations to rest, the duo released a joint statement confirming the good news

The revelation sparked a wave of congratulatory messages from fellow celebrities. Ranveer Singh, Sonam Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, Shweta Bachchan, and Huma Qureshi were among the first to extend their best wishes in the comments section.

According to an earlier statement from a source, "Anushka is expecting her second baby. Like the last time, they will formally share the news with the world at a later stage," as reported by Hindustan Times.

Maintaining a low profile, Anushka consciously stayed away from public attention, with the source adding, "This isn’t a coincidence. She is staying away from the public eye to avoid speculation."

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed their first child, daughter Vamika, on January 11, 2021. While Anushka is gearing up for her upcoming project, 'Chakda Xpress,' Virat Kohli decided to skip the ongoing five-match Test series against England, initially planning to miss the first two tests, but later confirmed his absence from the entire series. The celebrity couple continues to capture hearts both on and off the screen, bringing joy to fans with their latest family expansion.
