Avneet Kaur, the actor and social media sensation, was spotted in the stands of the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, where the Mumbai team was facing off against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat. Her presence caught everyone’s attention, especially with rumours swirling about her and Shubman Gill possibly dating.While it’s not uncommon for celebrities to attend IPL matches, it was Avneet’s timing and presence at the game that caught everyone’s attention, especially in the wake of her recent online interactions. Just days before the IPL match, the internet went into overdrive after Virat Kohli, the star cricketer, ‘liked’ a picture of Avneet Kaur on Instagram. Kaur’s appearance at the stadium got a lot of attention, both from fans on social media and the live camera crews.Netizens on social media reacted to Avneet Kaur’s stadium appearance:One user said, “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.” One more user pointed out the same “Avneet Kaur is a hardcore Rohit fan..”While another said, “Avneet kaur She is close friend of shubman gill”Kohli’s explanation on liking Avneet’s pictureThe ‘like’ incident sparked a lot of gossip online until Virat Kohli explained that it was just an Instagram algorithm error. Kohli cleared the air with a statement on his Instagram story, “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.”Rahul Vaidya mocks Virat’s explanationHis explanation was later mocked by singer Rahul Vaidya in a funny Instagram post. Rahul shared stories on Instagram, making light of Virat’s explanation. Rahul joked that the Instagram algorithm might like many photos on Virat’s behalf without him knowing. He said, “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 also claimed that Virat Kohli blocked him on Instagram, but he joked that this might also be an Instagram glitch, “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?”
