Virat Kohli has stepped forward to clear the air surrounding a recent social media incident that drew unexpected attention. The cricketer’s Instagram handle was briefly spotted among the likes on a fan page post featuring actress Avneet Kaur — a moment that swiftly caught the internet’s eye and triggered widespread speculation.
Virat Kohli liked Avneet Kaur's photo on her fanpage account
It all began when social media users spotted Kohli’s verified account in the list of likes on the post featuring Avneet. Dressed in a green crop top and a printed wrap skirt, Avneet’s look drew attention not just for her fashion statement, but also because eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Virat Kohli had ‘liked’ the post — only to later ‘unlike’ it.
Netizens react
The moment quickly went viral across fan pages and online communities. Screenshots circulated with comments like, “Kohli saab what is this behaviour?” and even playful remarks such as, “Akaay beta papa ko phone do,” referencing Kohli and Anushka’s son.

As the chatter intensified, Kohli stepped in to clear the air. Taking to Instagram Stories, he addressed the speculation. "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," he wrote.
The clarification came a day after Kohli shared a heartfelt birthday post for Anushka Sharma. He posted a candid picture of the couple and 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.”
