It seems that rather than on the field, Virat Kohli has been more in the news over the past few days off the field. After the Avneet Kaur controversy, singer Rahul Vaidya has taken social media by storm by calling Kohli fans even bigger jokers than the star batter himself. Vaidya's statement comes after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) icon had issued clarification on account of his mistaken like on Avneet Kaur's picture.
Kohli claimed that an Instagram algorithm blunder might have resulted in an interaction being recorded from his official social media account. Fans' doubts got clear after the 36-year-old issued an official statement; however, Vaidya stepped in and shared a few pictures on Instagram, trolling the RCB star for his official clarification about the conversation with the post regarding Kaur.
"Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So, jo bhi ladki ho (I want to say that going forward, the algorithm might like many photos which I didn't do. So, the girls), please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?"
Rahul Vaidya claims Virat Kohli blocked him on Instagram
Vaidya further stated that Virat Kohli has blocked him on Instagram over the mocking post, though that could also be an Instagram blunder, just as the former India captain had suggested himself.
"So guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. I think that too is an Instagram glitch, Virat Kohli didn't block me. Instagram k algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, 'Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kardeti hoon'. Hain na (Instagram's algorithm told Virat Kohli, 'I'll block Rahul Vaidya on your behalf') Right?" He signed off.
Since the singer's posts went viral on social media, he has been a target of abuse on social media. Vaidya claimed that Kohli's fans have been using abusive language on social media against him and his family members.
"Virat Kohli's fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!" He went on to express his anger over the abuse targeted at his family, saying, "And now you are abusing me that's fine but you are abusing my wife my sister.. who have nothing to do with this! So I was right. That's why you all Virat Kohli fans are jokers! 2 kaudi ke (worthless) jokers."
