Indian cricketer Virat Kohli found himself at the center of social media chatter after users noticed that he had liked a photo from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur. The post, shared on April 30, featured the actress in a green crop top and printed wrap skirt. What followed was a wave of online reactions, with fans quickly picking up on the interaction. Screenshots began circulating widely across platforms such as Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), with many making humorous remarks and even tagging Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, in their comments.
Among the comments that gained traction were light-hearted jabs like, "Kohli saab what is this behaviour?" and “Akaay beta papa ko phone do,” referencing Kohli’s son Akaay.
Kohli Issues Clarification
Initially silent, Kohli eventually addressed the situation directly through his Instagram Stories. In a brief but pointed message, the cricketer 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."
Kohli did not mention Avneet Kaur or the specific fan page, and the like was quietly removed following the statement. His response aimed to end the speculation without adding further attention to the matter.
Public Reaction and Personal Life
Despite the cricketer’s prompt clarification, the incident continued to trend online for a short time, mainly due to the unexpected nature of the interaction. Fans remained divided between those who considered it a harmless technical slip and those who speculated beyond the available facts.
Interestingly, Kohli’s statement came just a day after he posted a touching birthday message for Anushka Sharma. Sharing a candid photo of the couple, Kohli wrote: "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 @anushkasharma."
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, are currently believed to be living in London. They welcomed their second child, Akaay, in February last year, and are also parents to daughter Vamika. In recent times, they have chosen to keep their family life more private, away from the constant glare of the public eye.
Focus Returns to Cricket
On the professional front, Virat Kohli remains a central figure in the Indian Premier League’s 2025 season. Representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Kohli's team has performed strongly, winning seven out of their first ten matches. RCB currently shares the top of the points table with Mumbai Indians, trailing only on Net Run Rate.
The team is set to face Chennai Super Kings in an upcoming home match in Bengaluru. The fixture is expected to draw significant attention as CSK was recently eliminated from the playoff race.
