The child, dressed in blue, drew considerable attention, leading many to speculate that this was Akaay’s debut in the public eye.
Fans quickly commented on the child’s striking resemblance to a young Virat Kohli, with social media buzzing with questions like, “Is that Akaay?” and comparisons to Virat’s childhood photos.
However, reports have since clarified that the child in the photo is not Akaay but another child present in the VIP section.
