Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma celebrated the arrival of their son, Akaay, this week. Speculation arose about his potential British citizenship. Despite the couple keeping details of their location private, rumors circulated that Akaay was born in London, prompting questions about his citizenship status.
Reports suggest that Akaay may not automatically acquire British citizenship under UK laws if he was indeed born in London. Typically, British citizenship is not granted solely based on birthplace; one parent must be a British citizen or have settled status in the UK.
Although Virat and Anushka own a residence in London, Akaay is not automatically eligible for British citizenship. However, his passport could be issued in the UK while he remains an Indian citizen.
To secure British citizenship for Akaay, Virat and Anushka may need to apply for his registration, provided he meets certain criteria, including residing in the UK until at least the age of 10.
Amidst rumors of Akaay’s birth in London, a purported image of Virat in the city fueled speculation further. The couple’s fans took to social media to discuss the possibility of Akaay being born in the UK capital.
Anushka and Virat shared the joyous news of Akaay’s birth alongside their daughter Vamika’s recent sibling status. Their statement expressed gratitude and requested privacy during this special time.
Anushka, known for her roles in films like “Zero,” is preparing for the release of her Netflix project, “Chakda Xpress.” While pregnancy rumors had circulated for some time, the couple had not confirmed them until now.
