Virat Kohli Clarifies Instagram Like on Avneet Kaur’s Post
The controversy began when eagle-eyed fans noticed Virat’s verified Instagram handle had liked a post from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur. The post quickly gained traction, with many speculating about the intention behind the like.
To address the rumors, Virat posted a statement on his Instagram Stories. He clarified that while organizing his feed, an unintended like may have occurred due to the algorithm. “There was absolutely no intent behind it,” he wrote, urging people not to draw baseless conclusions.
