New Delhi: Ace India batter Virat Kohli has landed in hot water over his recent social media activity, which has sparked a row of debates among the netizens. Kohli, a prestigious and highly respected cricketer, came under scrutiny when some social media users claimed that he liked a sultry photo on Instagram, posted by a fan page dedicated to TV actress Avneet Kaur.
As a matter of proof, several screenshots were shared that allegedly showed his official verified account in the “likes” section of the post, going viral. The interaction brought a wave of online reactions as some speculated that it must be Kohli’s manager or that it was simply a mistake. For almost a day, Kohli remained silent, and when people checked the post again, his like was no longer visible.
The former India captain finally addressed the issue on Friday and cleared the air surrounding the vile speculations. Kohli blamed it on the “algorithm” and said that it was not intentional, while taking to his Instagram story. “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 story read.
