Avneet Kaur breaks her silence on Virat Kohli’s viral ‘like’ incident, saying she welcomes appreciation while promoting her film Love In Vietnam.
Virat Kohli had accidentally liked Avneet Kaur’s pics.
A few months ago, a small online interaction involving Virat Kohli and actress Avneet Kaur turned into one of the most talked-about social media moments. Fans noticed that Kohli had “liked” a fan page post featuring Avneet in a chic green top and printed wrap skirt. Within hours, screenshots spread like wildfire across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), sparking countless memes and jokes.
While the “like” was removed soon after, the incident became a trending topic, prompting speculation about whether it was accidental or intentional. Kohli, known for maintaining a low profile online outside of cricket and family, eventually issued a clarification through Instagram Stories.
He 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 understanding.”
Avneet’s Response Amid Film Promotions
Now, months later, Avneet Kaur has addressed the episode. During the trailer launch of her upcoming film Love In Vietnam, the actress was asked about receiving attention and appreciation from big names online. With a smile, she responded, “May the love keep coming.”
Meanwhile, Kohli has had an eventful year both on and off the field. His IPL team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, finally lifted the coveted trophy after years of waiting. Following the victory, Kohli shared an emotional note dedicated to his wife Anushka Sharma, crediting her for standing by him through highs and lows.
The couple, married since December 2017, are parents to two children — daughter Vamika and son Akaay. Fans continue to adore the power couple, often celebrating their family moments as much as Kohli’s on-field milestones.
With Avneet gracefully addressing the viral incident and Kohli already having clarified the misunderstanding, the matter seems settled. But in the world of social media, even a single “like” can stir headlines.
