Is this really Akaay Kohli's picture going viral? Fans react to Anushka-Virat’s privacy breach
By Nancy Tiwari | First Published Nov 25, 2024, 10:55 AM ISTAnushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s son Akaay’s pictures went viral during the India-Australia Test, leaving fans confused and raising concerns over privacy violations.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, known for their love of privacy, have always taken a strong stance when it comes to their children’s media exposure. The couple, often referred to as "Virushka," has consistently kept their family life away from the public eye. Their efforts to shield their children, especially their young ones, from prying cameras have been widely respected. Despite this, a picture of a child resembling their son, Akaay, has recently gone viral, sparking both excitement and controversy.
Anushka and Virat welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on February 15, 2024, just three years after the birth of their daughter, Vamika. Ever since the couple became parents again, they have worked hard to protect their children's privacy, specifically requesting the paparazzi to refrain from clicking pictures of their kids. However, during ongoing India vs. Australia Test match in Perth, a photo of a child, believed to be Akaay, was unintentionally captured and has since gone viral, though it remains unclear if it is truly their son.
