New Delhi (Staff Correspondent): Former captain and star batsman of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli has once again come into the limelight for his activities on social media. This time the matter is not related to any record or field, but to a “mistake” on Instagram, which created a stir on the internet.
On April 30, popular television and social media actress Avneet Kaur shared some bold pictures on her Instagram account. In these pictures, Avneet was seen in a green crop top and printed wrap skirt. Her fans liked and commented fiercely on these pictures. But the most attention went to that one like, which came from Virat Kohli. As soon as it came out on social media that Virat has liked Avneet’s post, this like was immediately removed. However, by then many fan pages and social media users had taken a screenshot of it and started making it viral.
Jokes and memes on social media
Social media users gave different reactions to this move of Virat. Many people jokingly wrote, “Kohli sahab, what have you done?” While some also made memes about it. One user commented, “Achha beta, now call papa.” This whole matter caught fire on social media and Virat felt the need to clarify.
Virat Kohli clarified, said – “It happened by mistake”
Amidst this growing controversy, Virat Kohli posted a story on his official Instagram account and clarified. He wrote: “I want to clarify that while clearing my feed, it seems that the algorithm has mistakenly recorded a conversation. There was no intention behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”
Through this story, Virat made it clear that it was only a technical error and there was no personal or deliberate purpose.
Wrote a lovely message for Anushka
A day before this entire incident, Virat Kohli had shared an emotional post on the occasion of his wife Anushka Sharma’s birthday. He wrote: “To my best friend, my life partner, my safe space, my best half, my everything. You are the guiding light of all our lives. We love you so much every day. Happy birthday my love @anushkasharma.”
Fans also supported Virat
Although some users questioned Virat’s action, many of his fans also said that humans can make mistakes and it should not be blown out of proportion. Many people appreciated his honesty and immediate clarification.
