Bollywood and cricket have always made headlines together, but this time the buzz wasn’t about a new movie cameo or a stadium selfie. It was about one accidental “like” that set social media on fire.
Avneet Kaur Responds to Virat Kohli’s Viral Instagram Like
When fans spotted Virat Kohli double-tapping on one of Avneet Kaur’s glamorous photos, the internet went into overdrive with memes, jokes and wild speculation. Now, Avneet has broken her silence and shared her reaction.
During the trailer launch of her international film Love in Vietnam, Avneet was asked about the sudden wave of attention and love from celebrities online, a question that clearly pointed to Kohli’s viral “like.” With a smile, she kept it simple.
“Milta rahe pyaar... aur kya hi keh sakti hoon (May the love keep coming… what more can I really say),” she said.
How The Virat Kohli Avneet Kaur Photo Like Incident Started?
It all began when fans noticed Kohli had liked Avneet Kaur’s photo where she was seen in a lime green crop top and printed mini skirt. Within minutes, screenshots flooded social media with the “like” turning into a full-blown trend. From cheeky memes to playful trolling, the chatter spread like wildfire.
But before the story grew wings, Kohli himself stepped in with a clarification on Instagram Stories.
“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.”
That settled the storm from his side but the wave had already worked wonders for Avneet. What started as a glitch ended up being a jackpot. Avneet Kaur gained over one million new followers almost overnight, boosting her reach across platforms.
Reports also suggest she bagged as many as 12 new brand deals, pushing her brand value up by 30 percent. As for Virat Kohli, his clarification shut down the gossip but the incident showed how even the tiniest online action from him can set the internet ablaze.
