Virat Kohli Responds To Controversy Over Liking Avneet Kaurâs Photo
Virat Kohli, the most popular and trending internet personality of India, recently came into the spotlight—but this time, not for a very good reason. Virat, who is currently playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team in the IPL, grabbed headlines for something as simple as liking a post on Instagram.
The post in question was a photo of young Indian actress Avneet Kaur, shared by one of her fan pages. Virat’s “like” on that post did not go unnoticed. As soon as it was discovered, the internet exploded. People started talking, opinions flooded in from all directions, and trolling began on social media. What made it even more controversial was the fact that this incident happened on the birthday of his wife, Anushka Sharma.

The buzz grew so loud that Virat Kohli had to personally step in and clarify the situation. He posted an Instagram story where he wrote: “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.”
Just a day before this, he had posted a heartfelt birthday wish for Anushka Sharma on Instagram. Along with a lovely picture of the two, he penned: “To my best friend, my life partner, my safe space, my best half, my everything. You’re the guiding light of all of our lives. We love you so much more every day. Happy birthday, my love.”
