Virat Kohli’s Accidental ‘Like’ and Its Aftermath
The buzz began when fans noticed that Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli had ‘liked’ one of Avneet Kaur’s Instagram posts. The action quickly went viral, leading to widespread discussions online. Kohli later clarified that the ‘like’ was unintentional, attributing it to an Instagram algorithm glitch. In an Instagram story, he stated, “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.” Singer Rahul Vaidya humorously responded to Kohli’s explanation, joking about the possibility of the algorithm liking multiple photos on his behalf without his knowledge.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Frenzy
Avneet Kaur’s attendance at the IPL match did not go unnoticed by fans and netizens. Social media platforms were abuzz with comments linking her presence to Shubman Gill. Some users speculated about a budding relationship between the actress and the cricketer, while others dismissed the rumors. One user commented, “Didn’t react to the whole Virat Kohli like incident, and came to the stadium to support Rohit Sharma. You’ve truly earned our respect, Avneet Kaur.” Another added, “Avneet Kaur is a hardcore Rohit fan.” Amidst the chatter, some fans pointed out that Avneet is close friends with Shubman Gill, further fueling the dating speculations.
Past Encounters and Ongoing Rumors
This isn’t the first time Avneet Kaur and Shubman Gill have been at the center of dating rumors. In December 2023, the duo was photographed together during a vacation in London, sparking initial speculations about their relationship. Additionally, Avneet’s attendance at the India vs. Australia semi-final match in Dubai earlier this year, where she shared photos cheering for the Indian team, led to fans teasing her about Shubman Gill, affectionately calling him “jiju” in the comments. Despite the recurring rumors, neither Avneet nor Shubman has publicly addressed or confirmed any romantic involvement.
Avneet Kaur’s Professional Endeavors
While her personal life garners attention, Avneet Kaur continues to make strides in her professional career. She began her journey in the entertainment industry as a contestant on ‘Dance India Dance Li’l Masters’ in 2010 and has since appeared in various television shows and films. Her notable roles include Princess Yasmine in ‘Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga’ and a performance in the film ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Avneet is also set to star in ‘Love in Vietnam,’ an India-Vietnam collaboration announced at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, alongside Shantanu Maheshwari and Vietnamese actress Kha Ngan.
