Cricket superstar Virat Kohli recently found himself in the middle of an unexpected social media storm after he “mistakenly” liked a post by Bollywood actress Avneet Kaur. The incident sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, prompting Kohli to issue a clarification on his Instagram Stories.

What Happened?

On April 30, Avneet Kaur shared a series of glamorous pictures on Instagram, wearing a stylish green crop top and a printed wrap skirt. While the post garnered attention from her fans, it also caught the eye of Virat Kohli, who briefly liked the picture before unliking it.

However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the activity, and screenshots of Kohli’s like went viral. Social media users began speculating, with some jokingly commenting, “Kohli saab, what is this behaviour?” and “Akaay beta papa ko phone do.”

Virat Kohli’s Response

With discussions gaining traction online, Kohli took to his Instagram Stories to clarify the situation. He stated:

“I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”

This isn’t the first time a celebrity’s social media activity has led to speculation. Instagram’s algorithm and accidental likes have previously caused similar misunderstandings among public figures.

While some fans found the situation amusing, others defended Kohli, emphasizing that such interactions can happen unintentionally. Many pointed out that Kohli is known for being private about his personal life and rarely engages in social media controversies.

Avneet Kaur, on the other hand, has not publicly responded to the incident. The young actress, who has a massive fan following, often shares fashion and lifestyle content, making her one of the most-followed Gen-Z stars in India.
