Is Akaay, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's Son, a British National? Let's Find Out!

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli , the dynamic couple from the world of entertainment and sports, celebrated the arrival of their second child, Akaay , on February 15. The much-anticipated birth has sparked speculation about the newborn's citizenship, particularly since there are whispers that Akaay was born in London.

Contrary to assumptions, Akaay may not automatically be a British citizen according to UK rules. A report by Sports Tak has clarified that being born in the UK does not grant automatic citizenship. In such cases, a child can only acquire British citizenship if at least one parent is a British citizen or has secured settled status after an extended period of residence.

Despite Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's ownership of a residence in London, Akaay, whose passport may be issued in the UK, is expected to retain his Indian citizenship. To potentially secure British citizenship, Akaay's parents can initiate a registration process. The report suggests that if Akaay continues to reside in the UK until at least the age of 10, he might be eligible for registration as a British citizen.


Fueling the speculation, earlier rumours were circulating about Anushka Sharma giving birth to her second child in a London hospital. Social media added fuel to the fire when fans shared what they believed to be the 'latest picture' of Virat Kohli strolling through the streets of London after the baby announcement. While the exact birthplace remains undisclosed, the curiosity surrounding Akaay's nationality continues to captivate fans and followers of the celebrity couple.
