Watch: Avneet Kaur Reacts To Indirect Question About Virat Kohli Accidentally Liking Her Picture
Avneet Kaur finally reacted to the viral buzz around Virat Kohli’s accidental Instagram “like” while promoting her upcoming film ‘Love in Vietnam’.
A few months ago, social media went into overdrive when eagle-eyed netizens spotted that cricketer Virat Kohli had liked a post shared by one of Avneet Kaur’s fan pages. The picture in question featured Avneet in a lime green crop top paired with a chic printed wrap-around mini skirt, a look that instantly went viral once the interaction was noticed. Now, as Avneet Kaur gears up for the release of her much-talked-about film ‘Love in Vietnam’, she has finally broken her silence on the incident.
At the trailer launch event, when asked about the growing admiration she has been receiving from big names in the industry – with a not-so-subtle reference to Kohli’s viral “like” – Avneet responded with grace and charm. Smiling, she simply said, “Milta rahe pyaar bas... Aur kya bolun main”.
Check out her reaction here:
Her light-hearted remark comes after months of buzz that had overtaken social media. In May 2025, Virat Kohli’s interaction on her photo had prompted a wave of memes, jokes, and speculation, with many questioning the intent behind the gesture given his high-profile image and personal life. The chatter grew so loud that Virat Kohli himself was forced to address it.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, Virat Kohli clarified that the “like” was nothing more than a technical error.
He wrote, “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. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”
Interestingly, what could have been a fleeting controversy ended up working in Avneet Kaur’s favour. Reports suggest she gained over one million new followers on Instagram in the aftermath and even signed 12 new brand deals. The sudden surge in attention has boosted her brand value by an estimated 30 per cent, making the incident a surprising turning point in her career.
Meanwhile, ‘Love in Vietnam’ – Avneet’s upcoming cross-cultural romantic drama – continues to generate buzz. The film also stars Shantanu Maheshwari alongside Vietnamese actor Kha Ngan. As per IMDb, the project is described as “a passionate cross-cultural romance that unfolds between Vietnam and Punjab, inspired by the classic Turkish novel Madonna in a Fur Coat.”
