The recent stir on social media involving cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Avneet Kaur’s Instagram post took an unexpected turn after singer Rahul Vaidya jumped into the conversation. It all began when users spotted that Kohli’s official Instagram account had liked a photo of Avneet from a fan page. The interaction caught attention, prompting Kohli to respond.
Kohli addressed the matter through his Instagram Stories, saying, “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.” His explanation attempted to end the speculation, but instead fueled a chain of responses online.
Rahul Vaidya Mocks the Clarification
Shortly after Kohli’s clarification, Rahul Vaidya posted a video on Instagram, making light of the situation. He said, “Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So, jo bhi ladki ho, please don’t do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?”
In another post, Vaidya claimed that Kohli had blocked him, drawing a parallel to the cricketer's own excuse. He said, “So, guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. So I think voh bhi Instagram ki glitch hogi, voh Virat Kohli ne block nahi kiya hoga. Instagram ke algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko, ‘Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kar deti hoon.’ Haina?”
What followed was a flood of backlash from Kohli’s fans. Rahul claimed the trolling quickly turned personal, targeting his family. On his Instagram Stories, he wrote, “Virat Kohli’s fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!” and further added, “And now you are abusing me that’s fine but you are abusing my wife my sister.. who have nothing to do with this! So I was right. That’s why you all Virat Kohli fans are jokers! 2 kaudi ke jokers.”
Rahul Explains His Position
In an interview with Zoom, Rahul expressed confusion over the incident, stating that he doesn’t understand why Kohli blocked him. “Virat Kohli has blocked me for some reason. I am not even aware about the reason. I used to be his fan. I am still a fan of the cricketer, but I don't endorse him as a human being,” he said.
He also reiterated that his initial post was meant as a joke. “Yesterday, I put a very humorous story, saying that he had liked Avneet Kaur's fan page picture. Then he gave clarification, citing that it was some algorithm glitch,” Rahul added.
The original incident—Kohli's ‘like’ on Avneet Kaur’s photo—had gone viral, especially after it was noticed that the images featured the actress in a striking outfit. Social media was flooded with memes and jokes, turning Kohli’s brief interaction into widespread chatter.
