A social media misunderstanding has sparked a heated exchange between singer Rahul Vaidya and cricketer Virat Kohli. The conflict began after Kohli clarified that his accidental “like” on actress Avneet Kaur’s photo was caused by an Instagram algorithm error.
After that, caught by the paparazzi, Vaidya responded sarcastically, suggesting his own block by Kohli was also a “glitch.” Now, Vaidya took a fresh dig calling out his fans who were arrested for their weird activities.
Rahul Vaidya Doubles Down With Kohli-Fan Thrashing
After facing backlash from Kohli’s fans for the 'glitch' feud, Vaidya labelled them “Do Kaudi Ke Jokers” and shared a news report about RCB fans on his Instagram story. The fans were allegedly arrested for a ritual involving Kohli’s cutout, and Vaidya captioned the picture, “Once a joker, always a joker. This is so messed up. #2KaudiKeJokers.”

While the fresh story is yet to be responded to by Virat Kohli or his acquaintances, the 'glitch' feud intensified when Virat’s brother, Vikas Kohli, criticized Vaidya for leveraging the controversy to gain attention instead of focusing on his music career, particularly during national crises.
"Bache itni mehnat agar apni singing pai karle to shayad apni mehnat se famous ho jaae… While the whole nation is focused on the current situation of whats going on… this idiot is on a mission to gain followers and become famous taking Virat’s name… WHAT A LOSER," Vikas said.
As stated previously, Kohli has yet to respond directly to any of Vaidya’s remarks, leaving the controversy unresolved as fans debate the clash online.
Kohli's Stellar Form Takes A Pause
Meanwhile, in another development, Kohli, who was in stellar form in IPL 2025 might have to rest his horses now as BCCI officially suspended IPL now. As per reports, rescheduling of the event is in the works and will be decided upon soon.
