Virat Kohli clarifies the 'like' on Avneet Kaur's bold pic: ,"No unnecessary assumptions be made"

Virat Kohli found himself at the center of online discussion after fans observed that he had ‘liked’ a post by actress Avneet Kaur. The post, dated April 30, featured the actress in a modern outfit and attracted widespread attention. However, it was Kohli’s brief engagement with the content that sparked a flurry of reactions across social media.

Amid growing speculation, Kohli addressed the issue directly through his Instagram stories. In his clarification, 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 your understanding."

The explanation aimed to put an end to the swirling narratives and memes that emerged shortly after the incident. Several users had responded humorously to the situation, sharing posts that blended sports and entertainment in typical internet fashion. Despite the light-hearted tone of much of the commentary, Kohli’s clarification was received seriously by many of his fans.

Not long after, Kohli shifted attention back to his family life with a birthday message for his wife, Anushka Sharma. Sharing a photo with her, he expressed his appreciation in a heartfelt caption. The post garnered warm reactions and reminded followers of the couple’s enduring bond.

Virat and Anushka, who married in 2017, are known for keeping their family life private. They have two children and have made deliberate efforts to keep their children out of the public eye. When they do share moments, it is usually done thoughtfully and in moderation.

On the work front, Anushka Sharma is expected to return to acting soon, after stepping away from full-length roles for a period. Avneet Kaur, meanwhile, continues to develop her career with her next feature film Love in Vietnam, adding to her evolving filmography.

Though brief, the incident offered a glimpse into the scrutiny public figures face online—and how a single digital action can become a major topic of conversation.
