The heartwarming news of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcoming their second child, son Akaay, was quickly overshadowed by a disturbing trend on social media – the emergence of fake Instagram profiles purporting to represent the newborn.
A Flood of False “Akaays”:
Just minutes after the official announcement, Redditors spotted numerous accounts on Instagram masquerading as the infant. This sparked worry about exploiting the privacy of the child and amusement about the future username struggles Akaay might face.
Fan Frenzy or Creepy Intrusion?
While some users viewed this as harmless fan enthusiasm, others expressed concern about the implications. Comments ranged from “bro’s gonna have a hard time choosing a username” to “this is quite creepy. That baby is barely 5 days old!”
A Call for Respect and Privacy:
Amidst the online buzz, it’s crucial to respect the couple’s request for privacy during this precious time. Their statement clearly requests “kindly respect our privacy at this time.” While celebrating the new arrival, fans should avoid actions that could compromise the child’s safety and well-being.
Unique Name Choice:
Akaay, meaning “shining moon” or “formless,” marks another unique name choice by the couple, following their daughter Vamika’s name, derived from the Hindu goddess Durga. Their decisions reflect their desire for personal expression while navigating fame.
A Look Back at Their Journey:
Virat and Anushka tied the knot in 2017 and welcomed Vamika in 2021. They maintained privacy throughout their second pregnancy, making the birth announcement a special moment for their fans.
Warm Wishes from the Cricket Fraternity:
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar led the congratulations on social media, calling Akaay “a precious addition to the family” and wishing him a life filled with joy and laughter.
Beyond the Hype:
While celebrating the news and sending well wishes, it’s important to remember that Akaay is a child who deserves privacy and a normal upbringing. Let’s respect the boundaries set by his parents and avoid actions that could harm his well-being.
