Social Media: Virat Kohli’s accidental ‘like’ on Avneet Kaur’s photo creates a controversy on social media; the cricketer clarifies this misconception about him.
Indian cricket star Virat Kohli sparked a fun social media buzz when fans saw that he accidentally liked a picture of actress Avneet Kaur on Instagram. The photo, shared by a fan page, showed Avneet in a trendy green crop top and printed wrap skirt. The excitement grew because Kohli's verified account liked the post just a day after he shared a sweet birthday message for his wife, actress Anushka Sharma.
As soon as netizens spotted the interaction, a meme tsunami took over the internet. Comments began pouring in, with users tagging Anushka Sharma and even dragging Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg into the madness. Some joked about the timing, others speculated about Kohli’s intent, and many simply couldn’t believe the ‘like’ was real.
The 'like' itself vanished soon after, but not before screens had been snapped, posted, and made meme gold. From Kohli being tagged a "silent admirer" to memes making fun of Anushka altering the Wi-Fi password, the internet went crazy with imagination.
To pacify the frenzy, Kohli went to his Instagram Stories with a proper explanation, "I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it seems the algorithm might have incorrectly registered an interaction. There was no intention behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding."
Virat Kohli's unintentional like on Avneet Kaur's photo sparked a frenzy on social media. The cricketer accidentally liked a post of Avneet in a stylish outfit just after posting a birthday message for his wife, Anushka Sharma. Fans quickly jumped on the moment, creating memes and tagging Anushka in their jokes. Even after Virat Kohli clarified that it was a mistake caused by algorithm glitches, the phrase “algorithm mistakenly registered an interaction” went viral, becoming a target for mockery. One tweet humorously noted, “Galti se picture like hogai hogi.” While the situation was innocent, it shows how quickly an incident can turn into a meme fest or trolls. Avneet has yet to comment on it.
