Fans of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were filled with excitement and curiosity when they believed that the face of their son, Akaay, had been revealed for the first time during the India vs Australia Test match in Perth. The couple, who have always been extremely private about their children, had kept Akaay's face hidden from the public eye since his birth in February 2024. The mystery surrounding their son's appearance had created a wave of speculation among their followers. However, the speculation was quickly dispelled by Virat's sister, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, who clarified the misunderstanding on social media.
Bhawna took to Instagram to address the confusion, sharing a clear message to her followers. She stated that the child seen in the viral video was not Akaay, but the daughter of a close family friend. "Have been seeing Virat and Anushka’s friend’s daughter being mistaken for Akaay on social media. The child in the picture is not our Akaay. Thank you," she wrote, putting an end to the rumors and offering clarity to the fans who were eager to get a glimpse of the couple's second child.
The video that sparked the confusion showed Anushka Sharma excitedly cheering for her husband Virat Kohli as he scored a magnificent century during the Test match. In the background, a young child was seen sitting with Anushka, and many social media users quickly assumed that this was Akaay, given the context and timing of the match. Fans, always keen to catch a glimpse of the couple's children, were quick to spread the video, believing they were seeing the face of the couple's baby boy for the first time.
Virat and Anushka had welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Akaay, on February 15, 2024, and shared the news with their fans through a heartfelt statement on social media. "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!” they wrote, expressing their immense joy and love for their growing family.
Despite this revelation, the couple has continued to maintain their privacy when it comes to sharing public photos of their children. They have made it clear that while they are grateful for the love and support from their fans, they want to keep their children out of the spotlight and away from the media frenzy. They have occasionally shared glimpses of their kids but have made a conscious decision to preserve their privacy for as long as possible.
Fans, however, remain excited and supportive, eagerly awaiting any updates or new glimpses of the Kohli-Sharma children. Virat and Anushka, despite being public figures, continue to prioritize their family's privacy while navigating the delicate balance of being in the public eye. It remains to be seen when they will decide to share more moments of their family life with their followers.
