Anushka and Virat kept her pregnancy out of the media spotlight this time around. Despite speculations and reports swirling around for months, neither confirmed or denied the development. In fact, the power couple shared the news of Akaay's birth only five days after it took place.

The star batsman and acclaimed actress tied the knot with each other on December 11, 2017 in a private ceremony, in Tuscany, Italy. The couple welcomed Vamika into their lives on January 11, 2021. Their second child Akaay is born on February 15, 2024, six years and two months after their wedding.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Anushka Sharma will be seen next in the upcoming sports biopic Chakda Xpress, based on the life of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The Netflix release will see her comeback to the films after more than five years since her last leading role was in Aanand L Rai's romantic drama Zero in December 2018.
