Virat Kohli hit pause on the buzz surrounding a now-vanished Instagram ‘like’ that stirred social media. Fans spotted his verified account liking a post on a fan page of actress Avneet Kaur.
The small gesture quickly spiraled into online drama, even looping in Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma. Speculation ran wild, with many jumping to conclusions.
Kohli addressed the issue directly on Instagram Stories. He said it was likely a glitch while cleaning up his feed—no intent behind the activity.
“I request no unnecessary assumptions,” he added, asking fans for understanding. He kept it short and clear.
The clarification came just a day after he celebrated Anushka’s birthday online. The timing pushed fans to connect dots that weren’t there.
Meanwhile, on the pitch, Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru are crushing it in the IPL. With seven wins in ten games, RCB are tied with Mumbai Indians in points and face CSK this Saturday.
But CSK are out of playoffs, so all eyes will be on Kohli to keep RCB’s momentum alive—both online and on the ground.
