Virat Kohli has recently generated buzz on social media after liking a post by German vlogger Liz Laz. This is not the first time the renowned cricketer has attracted attention for his Instagram interactions; his previous ‘like’ on a photo by Avneet Kaur prompted similar discussions. Fans quickly noticed Kohli’s latest action, and it soon went viral, leading to comments from other celebrities.
In detail, Kohli liked a photograph of Liz Laz, originally posted by photographer Advait. The image was shared back in January with the caption, “Some golden hour shots.” This seemingly simple act sparked considerable attention from fans and commentators online.
Actor Ameesha Patel was recently approached by paparazzi and asked about the social media chatter surrounding Kohli’s ‘like.’ Initially caught off guard, she expressed surprise at the public’s reaction to the gesture. Patel remarked, “Is liking something a sin? It’s his life, his Instagram, his choice.” She criticized those who troll and suggested that appreciating someone’s work should be seen as positive rather than negative.
Last year, Kohli’s ‘like’ on a picture of Avneet Kaur stirred controversy, prompting questions regarding the implications of his actions given his public persona. In response to the escalating rumors, Kohli clarified the situation through an Instagram Story, attributing his ‘like’ to a technical glitch while clearing his feed. He urged followers not to jump to conclusions and appreciated their understanding.
The unintended ‘like’ from Kohli turned into a significant boost for Avneet, helping her gain over a million new followers and securing numerous brand deals that increased her brand value by 30%. While Kohli has not made a public statement regarding his recent action involving Liz Laz, it’s noteworthy that he has since removed his ‘like’ from the post.
