Virat Kohli's Instagram Activity Sparks Controversy Again
Virat Kohli's Recent Instagram Like Causes Stir
Virat Kohli, the renowned cricketer and husband of actress Anushka Sharma, has once again become a topic of discussion on social media, this time due to a seemingly innocuous Instagram 'like.' Users quickly noticed that Kohli had liked a post featuring German influencer LizLaz. The image, which was originally posted by photographer Advait in January, was captioned 'Some golden hour shots.' What might have been a minor detail soon gained traction as fans shared screenshots across various platforms. As the conversation around this incident intensified, actress Ameesha Patel was asked for her thoughts. She criticized the trolls targeting Kohli, asserting that it is his prerogative to like any post he chooses.
Ameesha Patel Defends Kohli Against Online Trolls
According to a report, when approached by paparazzi in Mumbai, the Kaho Na...Pyaar Hai star initially seemed unaware of the situation. After being informed, she dismissed the controversy, questioning why a simple act like liking a post should become a major issue. Patel expressed that people often overreact to trivial matters and are quick to troll without justification. She emphasized that appreciating someone's work through a 'like' should not be viewed negatively, asking, 'Is it a sin?' She further noted that online negativity poses a far greater problem than harmless social media interactions.
Kohli's Previous Instagram Incidents
This isn't the first instance where Kohli's Instagram activity has led to speculation. His previous 'like' on a post by actress Avneet Kaur also ignited discussions, with many questioning whether it was intentional or accidental. Given Kohli's prominent public image, this incident escalated into a larger online debate.
Kohli had previously addressed the situation involving Avneet Kaur, clarifying that the interaction was unintentional. He explained via Instagram Stories that it might have been an accidental action while scrolling through his feed, possibly influenced by the platform's algorithm. He urged followers not to overanalyze the situation and to refrain from making unnecessary assumptions. Interestingly, that incident proved advantageous for Avneet Kaur, as her social media following surged by over a million, along with numerous brand endorsements. As for the current situation, Kohli has yet to comment, and it has been noted that he has since removed his 'like' from LizLaz's post.
