Avneet Kaur has finally addressed the social media frenzy that erupted after Virat Kohli accidentally liked her Instagram post earlier this year. The incident, which occurred on April 30, 2025, involved Kohli liking a picture of Kaur in a green crop top and printed wrap skirt on a fan page, sparking widespread discussion and memes online. Kohli later clarified that it was a technical glitch caused by an algorithmic error while clearing his feed and urged people not to make unnecessary assumptions.
Kaur, who had remained silent on the matter for months, finally responded to the controversy at the trailer launch of her upcoming film, "Love in Vietnam". When asked about the attention she receives from prominent personalities on social media, Kaur responded with a smile, "Milta rahe pyaar, bas. Aur kya bolun main," which translates to "Let the love keep coming, what more can I say?". Her subtle response was well-received by fans and the media.
The accidental "like" ignited a meme frenzy and led to some trolling of Kohli, especially considering his marriage to Bollywood star Anushka Sharma. Some speculated about Kohli's personal life, while others made light of the situation. Despite Kohli's clarification, the incident continued to generate buzz.
Interestingly, the episode significantly boosted Kaur's brand profile. Her follower count reportedly increased by a million, her brand value rose by 30%, and she secured 12 new endorsements.
Adding to the social media chatter, both Kaur and Kohli were spotted attending the same Wimbledon 2025 match between Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur. They both posted about the event on their Instagram accounts, with Kohli sharing a picture of Djokovic. While they were not seen together, their presence at the same event fueled further speculation, even after Kohli's explanation.
"Love in Vietnam," stars Kaur alongside Shantanu Maheshwari and Vietnamese actress Kha Ngan. The film, directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi and based on a novel titled "Madonna in a Fur Coat," is scheduled to release on September 12, 2025. It is being touted as one of the first major collaborations between India and Vietnam in mainstream cinema.
