Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli celebrate the arrival of baby boy Akaay: ‘With abundant happiness…’
Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar, Shweta Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Maneish Paul and several others showered love and blessings in the comment section.
While Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have not officially revealed the inspiration behind their daughter’s name, it is speculated that ‘Akaay’ holds a profound meaning. Derived from the Hindi word ‘kaya’, which translates to ‘body,’ ‘Akaay’ signifies someone beyond physical form or corporeal existence. In Sanskrit, ‘Akaay’ denotes being without a body or incorporeal, suggesting a deeper spiritual significance to the name.
Anushka and Virat already have a daughter named Vamika.
Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers recently disclosed on his official YouTube channel that Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were expecting their second child. He apologized to Kohli, acknowledging a mistake in his earlier video.
“My friend Virat Kohli is still not available. I cry out to everyone to give him the privacy that he deserves. Family comes first. No one knows what exactly is going on. I am asking all of us to respect that. I made a blunder in my previous show and I apologise to the Kohli family for that,” ABD said on his YouTube channel.
