Avneet Kaur Gains 1.8 Million Followers After Virat Kohli Instagram Like Goes Viral

Actress Avneet Kaur is making headlines after a sudden jump in her Instagram followers. This unexpected rise happened after a small social media incident involving Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.

On May 1, fans noticed something strange. Kohli had liked a photo of Avneet Kaur that was posted by one of her fan pages. What made it even more surprising was the timing. Just hours before, Kohli had shared a sweet birthday post for his wife Anushka Sharma. This led many people online to start talking, guessing, and even creating memes.

The photo was not on Avneet’s own account but on a fan page, and Kohli does not even follow Avneet on Instagram. This made the situation more confusing for fans and gossip pages. Many started saying the like was probably a mistake, but the internet had already taken over.

The post went viral. For 48 hours, Avneet Kaur was the top trending celebrity on social media. She got massive attention from both fans and brands. According to BuzzCraft, the value of her social media posts increased by 30%. Earlier, brands paid her around Rs 2 lakh for one post. After the viral moment, her price jumped to Rs 2.6 lakh per post.

A funny comment on X (formerly Twitter) said, “Kohli’s one like helped Avneet more than what most startups earn in a whole quarter.” This comment was widely shared.

A report from Filmibeat said that Avneet quickly got 12 new brand deals. These included companies in beauty, fashion, and fintech. This made her one of the most talked-about young stars in the country last week.

Virat Kohli finally broke his silence on May 3. He shared an Instagram story to explain the situation. Kohli wrote: “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.”

Even though he gave a clear explanation, fans kept talking. And Avneet kept gaining more followers. Before the controversy, she had 30 million Instagram followers. After the viral moment, her followers increased to 31.8 million. That’s a gain of 1.8 million followers in just a few days.

This shows how one small action by a popular star can totally change someone else’s career online. Whether it was an accident or not, it helped Avneet Kaur in a big way.

On the work front, Avneet is doing well. She will soon appear in a film called “Love in Vietnam.” There are also reports that she will be seen in the upcoming Hollywood movie “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” with Tom Cruise.

This whole episode proves that social media is powerful. One tap, even by mistake, can bring major attention and new opportunities.
