Recently, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli found himself in the middle of unexpected social media attention. The reason? He had liked a photo on Instagram that belonged to a fan page of television actress Avneet Kaur. This small action led to a wave of online reactions, with many users jokingly dragging Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, into the conversation.
Virat Kohli Clarifies Liking Avneet Kaur’s Photo
As the screenshot of the liked post began circulating widely on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter), fans started making humorous comments and creating speculations about the incident. The buzz became so big that Virat Kohli decided to break his silence and address the situation himself.
He took to his Instagram Stories and posted a short statement. In it, he explained that while clearing his feed, the Instagram algorithm might have accidentally registered a ‘like’ from his account. He made it clear that there was absolutely no intention behind the action and asked everyone not to make any unnecessary assumptions.
Without naming Avneet Kaur or the fan page, Kohli’s statement was simple and respectful. He kept his words focused on the matter, likely in hopes of calming down the growing public curiosity. After the clarification, the ‘like’ was quietly removed from the post.
