The world of social media thrives on fleeting moments, but sometimes a single click can set off a storm. This past week, actress Avneet Kaur and cricket superstar Virat Kohli became the centre of a viral buzz after Kohli’s accidental ‘like’ on Avneet’s Instagram fan page post sent fans and the internet into a frenzy. While Kohli quickly clarified the situation, Avneet’s subtle yet telling reaction to the paparazzi has only fuelled curiosity further.

Virat Kohli’s accidental ‘like’ on Avneet Kaur’s pics raise eyebrows

It all began innocently enough: Avneet, known for her vibrant social media presence, posted a series of photos in a green top and printed wrap skirt. Among the sea of likes, one from Kohli, India’s cricketing icon, stood out. Fans spotted the interaction almost immediately, and the like vanished soon after-but not before screenshots and speculation took over social media feeds.

Memes, jokes, and even tags to Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, followed, turning a simple digital gesture into a trending topic. The buzz became so intense that Kohli addressed the issue directly on his Instagram Stories, attributing the like to an algorithmic mishap and urging fans not to read too much into it: “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 understanding.

Despite Kohli’s swift response, the online chatter refused to die down. For Avneet, however, the unexpected spotlight brought more than just attention-it resulted in a surge of nearly two million new Instagram followers and a marked increase in her brand value and endorsement opportunities.

The saga took a new turn when Avneet was spotted by paparazzi in Mumbai. As cameras rolled and questions flew about the viral incident, Avneet’s response was wordless but expressive. She blushed, offered a shy smile, folded her hands, and quietly slipped into her car-choosing not to comment at all. The brief moment, captured on video, quickly circulated online, with fans dissecting her body language and speculating about her thoughts.

Avneet’s decision to maintain silence, neither confirming nor denying any narrative, has only added to the intrigue. Her poised yet bashful reaction contrasted sharply with Kohli’s direct approach, making her the subject of even more discussion. Social media users found humour in the situation, with some suggesting the paparazzi should have asked about her favourite cricketer instead of the incident itself.
