Actress Avneet Kaur has finally addressed the social media storm caused by cricket superstar Virat Kohli accidentally liking her Instagram post earlier this year. During the trailer launch of her upcoming film Love in Vietnam on August 25, 2025, Avneet responded with a charming smile, saying, “Milta rahe pyaar… Aur kya hi keh sakti hoon” (May the love keep coming… what more can I say). Her lighthearted response to the viral incident has reignited online chatter, with fans and media praising her graceful handling of the situation.
The controversy began on April 30, 2025, when eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Kohli had liked a glamorous post by Avneet, featuring her in a lime green crop top and printed mini skirt. The like, which was quickly removed, sparked a frenzy of memes, jokes, and speculation across platforms like Instagram and X. Some fans teased, “Kohli saab, what is this behaviour?” while others humorously remarked, “Akaay beta, papa ko phone do.” The incident, occurring around Anushka Sharma’s birthday, fueled further curiosity given Kohli’s high-profile status and marriage to the actress.
Addressing the buzz, Kohli took to Instagram Stories to clarify, stating, “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.” Despite his explanation, the episode became a social media sensation, boosting Avneet’s visibility significantly. Reports indicate she gained over 1.8 million followers and secured 12 new brand endorsements, increasing her brand value by nearly 30%.
At the Love in Vietnam trailer launch, a reporter subtly referenced the incident, asking Avneet about the love she receives from celebrities. Her response, “Milta rahe pyaar,” was met with applause for its poise and wit. Adding to the intrigue, both Avneet and Kohli were spotted sharing posts from the Wimbledon 2025 match between Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur, with Kohli captioning a photo, “What a match. It was business as usual for the gladiator,” and Avneet posting multiple stories from the same event. Though not pictured together, their shared interest in tennis kept the online conversation alive.
Avneet, who began her career as a child artist on Dance India Dance Li’l Masters and gained fame through shows like Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga, is now making waves in Bollywood and international cinema. Her upcoming film Love in Vietnam, co-starring Shantanu Maheshwari, Kha Ngan, and Farida Jalal, is set to release soon, further cementing her rising stardom.
The accidental like may have been a glitch, but Avneet’s response has turned it into a moment of charm and positivity, proving her knack for turning social media buzz into a career boost. As fans eagerly await her next project, her “Milta rahe pyaar” comment continues to trend, keeping the internet hooked.
