How Virat Kohli’s Accidental Instagram Like Boosted Avneet Kaur’s Career!

When Virat Kohli accidentally liked actress Avneet Kaur’s picture on a fan account, he could not imagine the wild storm this action would unleash. Last week, fans noticed that the cricketer had liked a fan page’s picture of Avneet, and screenshots of the like started getting viral on social media. This action of Kohli’s has made all eyes focus on Avneet and boosted her career opportunities. 

Virat’s accidental blunder

Virat Kohli’s official Instagram account was seen liking a picture on an Avneet Kaur fan page on Friday. The same fan page posted a screenshot on Instagram stories of the like. Even after Kohli unliked the picture later, people had already started to talk. Later, Virat issued a clarification that aimed to put an end to this matter. Without naming Avneet or any other information, he stated that he may have accidentally registered an interaction while clearing his feed. 

This clarification did not put the situation to rest and instead spun a number of memes about Kohli’s formal tone. While both Virat Kohli and Avneet Kaur trended on social media.

The aftermath for Avneet

The entire situation for Avneet has been nothing short of a dream. The actress has received unprecedented attention and fame on social media. She gained over a million new followers on Instagram, and her brand value for posts also increased by 30%. Reports also say that Avneet signed about 12 new brands deals on the day her picture was accidentally liked by Kohli.
