Indian actor and social media star Avneet Kaur has finally addressed the controversy surrounding star batter Virat Kohli liking her picture on Instagram, which he later attributed to a technical glitch.
A few months ago, Kohli stirred up social media when fans noticed his official Instagram account liked a glamorous picture posted by Kaur.
However, the former skipper of the Indian cricket team soon issued a clarification via the social platform.
“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 accidental “like” ignited a meme frenzy on social media and led to trolling against Virat Kohli, especially considering his high-profile status as part of a couple with Bollywood star Anushka Sharma.
However, this incident turned out to be a golden opportunity for Avneet Kaur, as her brand value increased by 30%. Additionally, she gained at least 12 new brand deals and millions of new followers.
She had maintained strict silence on the controversy until now. During the trailer launch of a movie, she was asked about the sudden wave of attention, which clearly referenced Kohli’s viral “like.”
“Milta rahe pyaar… Aur kya hi keh sakti hoon (May the love keep coming… what more can I really say),” she responded.
