Team India cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma on Tuesday night announced that they have become parents for the second time. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma in a joint statement revealed that they are blessed with a baby boy and appealed to the fans to respect their privacy. Notably, Anushka and Virat are already parents of a daughter named Vamika. Below is what Viat Kohli & Anushka Sharma's joint statement says-

'Virat & Anushka are in London'
A few days back industrialist Harsh Goenka took to his X handle and claimed that a baby is going to be born in a few days. Without mentioning Virat or Anushka, Goenka wrote, “A new baby is to be born in the next few days! Hope the baby takes India to great heights like the greatest cricketing father. Or will it follow the mother and be a film star?” Goenka also used the hashtags ‘Made In India’ and ‘To Be Born In London’. This left everyone convinced that the industrialist was talking about Anushka and Virat. Notably, Anushka Sharma's exact delivery date has not been revealed but if Goenka's claim is true then the Bollywood actress will become a mother for the second time in the next few days.
Apart from this, former South African cricketer and Virat Kohli's pal, AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel revealed that the Team India player is all set to be a father again. "Yes, his second child is on the way. Yes, it’s family time and things are important to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people’s priority is family. You can’t judge Virat for that. Yes, we miss him, but he has made the right decision,” said de Villiers. However, after the news went viral, de Villiers retracted his statement saying that he might have peddled fake news.
