Actress Anushka Sharma has given fans the first-ever glimpse of her son, Akaay, in a sweet family moment shared on social media to celebrate her husband, Virat Kohli’s birthday. In a touching Instagram post on November 5, Sharma posted a candid photo of the cricketer embracing full “daddy mode,” holding both their son Akaay and daughter Vamika, capturing hearts across the internet.
The photo shows Kohli casually dressed in a white t-shirt and brown trousers, cradling their baby son in a carrier while holding Vamika, who is playfully tugging at his arm. For the first time, fans got a glimpse of Akaay, who matched his father in a white outfit, though Anushka covered both children’s faces with heart emojis to maintain their privacy. Vamika, dressed in a cream-colored top and casual trousers with braids, completed the family’s coordinated look as they enjoyed a relaxed moment outdoors in a park.

Anushka added heart and evil eye emojis to the post, captioning it with a simple yet heartfelt birthday message, honoring her husband’s special day. The candid setting and warm family vibe quickly won over fans, who flooded the comments with admiration. “Can’t take my eyes off Akaay and Vamika!” wrote one follower, while another noted how much the children had grown. Comments poured in, with fans calling it the “best picture” and celebrating Kohli as a “king with future superstars.”
The couple, who recently celebrated seven years of marriage, have generally kept their children’s lives out of the public eye, choosing a quieter life in London away from India’s media spotlight. Despite this, glimpses of their family moments spark a huge response from fans, and this new photo was no exception.
While Kohli continues his cricket career, Sharma, who stepped back from acting after her 2018 film Zero, is also gearing up for a return to the screen. Her much-awaited biopic Chakda Xpress, based on cricket star Jhulan Goswami, was delayed but is expected to release on an OTT platform, marking Sharma’s anticipated comeback.
As fans celebrate this rare family snapshot, it’s clear the Kohli-Sharma family remains a favorite with the public, both on and off the field.
