NEW DELHI: It has been just a week since Virat Kohli announced that he and his actress wife Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby boy and the excitement surrounding the newborn, Akaay, has already created a frenzy among fans.
It was evident during the fourth Test match between India and England at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi as a photo of the poster went viral on social media.
The poster conveyed a special request from Indian fans, expressing their desire for baby Akaay to make his debut and eventually play for the Indian cricket team.
Kohli and Anushka are already proud parents of a three-year-old daughter Vamika.
“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!,” Kohli informed in an Instagram post.
“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.”
The former Indian skipper Kohli had opted out of the ongoing Test series against England, citing personal reasons.
What’s the meaning of this unique name ‘Akaay’?
Akaay, meaning ‘body-less’ or ‘Nirakaar’ in Sanskrit, has diverse cultural interpretations including a shining moon in Turkish.
In Sanskrit language, the name Akaay means ‘immortal’ or something that doesn’t decay.
Anushka and Virat, who are fondly called as ‘Virushka’ by the fans, got married in December 2017 in Italy. In 2021, Anushka and Virat welcomed their daughter who they named Vamika.
