On his 36th birthday, former captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli, won hearts with an intimate family photo. His wife, actress Anushka Sharma, shared the image, which features Kohli sharing a sweet moment with their daughter, Vamika, and their newborn son, Akay. This is the first time fans have seen Kohli with both of his children in one photo.
Virat and Anushka’s relationship has been warmly received by fans. After several years of dating, the couple tied the knot in a picturesque private ceremony in Italy in 2017. Their daughter, Vamika, arrived in January 2021, followed by their son, Akay, in February 2024. They have chosen to keep their children’s lives away from the spotlight, with fans only catching brief glimpses of Vamika previously, mostly during cricket matches.
The Instagram post shows Kohli cradling Vamika in one arm while carrying Akay in a baby carrier. To maintain their privacy, the couple covered their children’s faces with heart emojis, keeping their identities shielded.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their admiration for the photo, applauding Kohli for being a dedicated athlete and a loving father. The post generated thousands of likes and shares, with followers expressing joy over this rare peek into the family’s life.
