New Delhi: In February 2024, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Akaay Kohli. The couple shared the joyful news on social media, sparking curiosity about the meaning behind the unique name. Surprisingly, 10-month-old Akaay quickly garnered attention and landed in the second spot in Google's Year in Search 2024 rankings for the 'Meaning' category, right after the top search term "All Eyes on Rafah". Other popular search terms in the rankings included cervical cancer and demure.
According to reports, Akaay is a Hindi word with Turkish roots, derived from the term “kaaya,” which means body. In Sanskrit, Akaay refers to “anything or something that is without kaay,” which translates to 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!

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first met in 2013 during the shooting of a commercial. They grew close, formed a strong connection, and eventually fell in love, though they kept their romance out of the public eye. On December 11, 2017, they tied the knot in a private, intimate ceremony in Italy. In January 2021, the couple celebrated the arrival of their first child, a daughter they named Vamika Kohli.
Reports suggest that after the birth of their second child, Akaay Kohli, the couple relocated to London to enjoy a more private life away from the spotlight. They are frequently seen walking around and spending quality time with their children in the city.
