Virat Kohli's Instagram Like Sparks Controversy: Rahul Vaidya Weighs In
Virat Kohli's Impact on Social Media
Virat Kohli is widely regarded as one of the finest cricketers in history. His remarkable batting prowess and charismatic personality have earned him a massive fanbase, both in India and internationally. His every move, whether a new social media post or a fresh appearance, tends to create a buzz in the media.
Recently, Kohli liked a post by television actress Avneet Kaur, which ignited a flurry of discussions online. Although Kohli attributed the like to an algorithm error, the topic remained a hot subject. In the midst of this, singer Rahul Vaidya made a pointed remark about Kohli. Here’s what unfolded.

Just two days after Kohli addressed the situation regarding the like on Avneet's post, another controversy emerged. Vaidya shared a video that subtly mocked Kohli's explanation, suggesting that the same Instagram algorithm that liked Avneet's photos also blocked him from Kohli's account. This isn’t the first time Vaidya has claimed to be blocked; he has mentioned it several times before.
Following the viral nature of Vaidya's video, he faced significant backlash from Kohli's supporters. However, he responded to the trolls with confidence.
