In February 2024, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcomed their second child, a baby boy named
Akaay Kohli
. After announcing the name on social media, many people searched for its meaning.
As a result, 10-month-old Akaay ranked second in Google’s Year in Search 2024 list under the ‘Meaning’ category, just behind “All Eyes on Rafah.” Other top search terms included cervical cancer and demure.
Akaay, the name chosen by Anushka and Virat for their son, has roots in both Hindi and Turkish languages. In Turkish, it is derived from ‘kaaya,’ meaning body. In Sanskrit, Akaay refers to “anything or something that is without kaay,” which translates to something that lacks form or body.
Announcing the same on social media, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli wrote, “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 and Vamika’s little brother into this world!”
Reports suggest that after the birth of their second child, Akaay Kohli, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli moved to London for a more private life, away from the public eye. They have been spotted regularly walking around the city and spending quality time with their children, embracing a more low-key lifestyle.
Anushka Sharma has been away from acting for a while after her last appearance in the 2018 film Zero, where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, she is gearing up for a major return with
Chakda Xpress
, a biographical film about cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. The film has sparked considerable excitement as it marks her comeback to the big screen after a break from acting.
