Instagram Flooded With Fake Akaay Kohli Accounts, Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma's Picture Misused

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, a renowned Bollywood actor, gave birth to a baby boy this week. The announcement was made by the cricketer himself on Tuesday through social media. Virat Kohli has been away from cricket for a month now and is spending time with his family and wife Anushka, who needed her husband's full attention.

But soon after Virat Kohli posted on social media that the family has named the newly born Akaay Kohli, Instagram was flooded with fake accounts with the baby's name. These accounts were not only made by the infant's name, the miscreants also used Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's picture to make the account look real.

Observing the race for creating fake accounts, just to get a good number of followers, some social media users expressed concern over the privacy of the newborn baby.

A Twitter user said, "Bro's gonna have a hard time than whilst choosing a username xD"

Another netizen said, "I think the parents must have secured usernames across multiple platforms before revealing the name."

Welcoming the new family member:

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their second child with a heartfelt note on social media platforms. "With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika's little brother into this world! We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka" the note shared by the couple on Instagram reads.
