Virat Kohli & Anushka Sharma’s Son: Indian or British Citizen?
Birth Announcement Sparks Citizenship Speculation
- Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their son, Akaay, on February 15th.
- The couple’s location remains undisclosed, but rumors suggest a London birth, raising questions about Akaay’s citizenship.
UK Citizenship Rules: Not Automatic for Births
- Contrary to popular belief, being born in the UK doesn’t guarantee British citizenship.
- Akaay wouldn’t inherit it automatically as neither parent holds it or has “settled status.”
Eligible for Registration, But Residing Conditions Apply
- Though not automatic, Akaay can be registered as a British citizen if he lives in the UK until at least age 10.
- Owning a London house doesn’t qualify him, and his passport being issued in the UK doesn’t change his citizenship status.
Virat’s London Sighting Fuels Speculation
- Recent photos of Virat in London sparked more speculation about Akaay’s birth location.
- This further fueled the conversation about his potential citizenship status.
Couple’s Statement: Privacy and Blessings Requested
- Virat and Anushka announced the birth on Instagram, requesting privacy and blessings.
- They haven’t commented on the citizenship speculation.
Anushka’s Upcoming Film: Chakda ‘Xpress
- Anushka is set to return to acting with the Netflix film ‘Chakda ‘Xpress,’ despite pregnancy rumors last year.
Conclusion:
- While the exact location of Akaay’s birth remains unknown, it’s clear he doesn’t automatically hold British citizenship due to UK regulations.
- The possibility of registration exists with certain conditions, but official confirmation from the couple is awaited.
- Focus remains on celebrating their growing family and Anushka’s upcoming acting project.
