Virat Kohli, one of India’s most iconic cricketers, recently became the subject of widespread online discussion after an unexpected Instagram interaction. The athlete briefly liked a post by television and film actress Avneet Kaur — a move that did not go unnoticed by fans and social media users.
The image, which featured Kaur in a stylish green crop top and printed skirt, was a typical glamour post. However, when users spotted Kohli’s name among the likes, the post quickly went viral, leading to countless reactions, memes, and online debates.
Kohli Issues a Prompt Clarification
Amid the growing buzz, Kohli took to Instagram Stories on May 2 to address the situation. He clarified that the like was unintentional and likely a result of a technical error or accidental tap while browsing.
“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,” he wrote.
His statement was calm and direct, aiming to put an end to the speculation surrounding the incident.
Context Matters
The clarification came just days after Kohli had posted a touching birthday tribute to his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. In the post, he called her the “light to our world” and praised her for being an incredible mother and partner.
Kohli and Sharma, who now have two children, are widely admired for their loving and private relationship. The couple have consistently emphasized mutual respect and family values in both their public and private lives.

This episode, while minor, highlights how celebrities navigate a hyper-vigilant digital landscape, where even an accidental double-tap can spark rumors. Kohli’s swift and transparent handling of the situation showcases the importance of honest communication in public life.
