Celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were spotted together on Wednesday for the first time since the social media buzz over Kohli’s like on a fan page photo of Avneet Kaur. He later explained it as an accidental interaction caused by the app’s algorithm.

Anushka Virat on a dinner date

In the midst of all the chatter, the couple stepped out for a quiet dinner in Bengaluru’s MG Road. However, a video from their outing has gone viral for a different reason—one that fans quickly picked up on. The clip shows Anushka stepping out of a car, dressed in a beige jumpsuit, as Virat extends his hand to assist her. Surprisingly, the actress avoids his hand and holds onto the car door instead. She then walks into the restaurant without waiting, while Virat closes the car door and trails behind.

Netizens react

This brief moment has triggered a flurry of online reactions, with fans speculating about the couple's body language. One user wrote, “What am I seeing? She didn’t hold Virat’s hands.” Another joked, “Bhabhi gucha.” A third comment read, “Avneet Kaur wale kaand ke baad bhabhi gussa hai.” While many were amused, others called for the video to be taken down, arguing that such posts fuel unnecessary gossip.

Kohli on the Instagram incident

Just a day after Anushka's birthday, the internet buzzed with screenshots showing Kohli’s Instagram handle liking a photo of Avneet Kaur in a glamorous photoshoot. With discussions spiraling, Kohli decided to address the matter. He posted a clarification on his 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.”

Avneet Kaur’s rising popularity

Meanwhile, the unexpected attention has turned out to be beneficial for Avneet Kaur. According to Buzzcraft, the actress gained over a million new followers after the incident, taking her Instagram tally to 31.8 million. The report also noted a 30% rise in her post valuation, now estimated at around ₹2.6 lakh per post.

Avneet began her journey in showbiz at the age of 8, participating in Dance India Dance Li’l Masters. She transitioned into acting with Meri Maa in 2012 and went on to appear in shows like Aladdin, Ek Mutthi Aasmaan, and Chandra Nandini. On the film front, she’s been part of Mardaani, Qarib Qarib Singlle, and most recently starred opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Tiku Weds Sheru.
