Can one Instagram like change the internet’s mood? When it involves Virat Kohli, the answer is usually yes. Earlier this year, fans went into a frenzy when Kohli’s account liked a post by Avneet Kaur.
Within minutes, screenshots flooded social media. People wondered if Kohli really liked the post or if it was simply a mistake.
The post showed Avneet in a lime green crop top and mini skirt. Nothing unusual until fans spotted Kohli’s profile among the likes.
Social media instantly exploded with memes, jokes and endless theories. Was it intentional or just a scrolling error? The buzz grew so loud that Kohli had to respond.
On Instagram Stories, he clarified it was unintentional. He suggested the algorithm might have registered it by mistake and urged fans not to create unnecessary drama.
Avneet stayed silent for months. But during the trailer launch of her international project Love in Vietnam, she was finally asked about the viral moment.
Her reaction? With a smile, she said: “Milta rahe pyaar… aur kya hi keh sakti hoon.” Short and sweet. She didn’t deny it, didn’t stretch it, and took it sportingly.
Interestingly, Kohli dismissed it as a glitch, yet fans continued discussing it. Perhaps people love connecting dots even when none exist.
For Avneet, the accidental moment turned into unexpected spotlight just as she steps onto the global stage. Instead of being defensive, she showed maturity and humour by embracing it.
So, was it a glitch or a double tap? Only Kohli knows. What is certain is that every move of a star is under the microscope, even the accidental ones.
Months after Kohli closed the chapter, Avneet’s one liner brought it back into the spotlight, proving how easily a social media moment can turn into headlines.
