Rahul Vaidya Slams Virat Kohli & His Fans as Jokers
Singer Rahul Vaidya reignited his feud with Virat Kohli, mocking the cricketer for allegedly blocking him on Instagram post the Avneet Kaur saga. Vaidya blamed Kohli fans for hurling abuses at his wife and sister. Meanwhile, Kohli clarified his controversial Instagram post as an algorithm glitch, urging people not to assume malice.
After the Avneet Kaur Instagram incident, Virat Kohli finds himself at the center of social media backlash despite a stellar IPL 2025 season with the bat. The former Indian captain sparked controversy by liking actress Avneet Kaur’s pictures on Instagram. Although initially dismissed as fake, Kohli later clarified that the like was accidental, blaming Instagram’s algorithm and urging the public not to jump to conclusions.
This digital slip reignited criticism from singer Rahul Vaidya, who previously had issues with Kohli. Vaidya sarcastically mocked the incident, suggesting even Kohli’s block on Instagram could be a “glitch”. In retaliation for the backlash from Kohli fans, Vaidya alleged that they hurled abuses at his wife and sister. He hit back strongly, branding the cricketer’s fanbase as “2 kaudi ke jokers” (worthless clowns).
Despite the drama, Kohli performs remarkably in IPL 2025, being one of the top run-getters. However, the off-field distractions may affect his public image. The situation underscores the growing impact of social media on athletes’ lives, where even unintended actions spark outrage. The issue has overshadowed cricketing headlines momentarily, as Kohli’s fans and critics remain divided. Meanwhile, Kohli remains focused on leading his side toward the IPL playoffs with consistent performances.
