“Thanks, singer Rahul Vaidya says after Virat Kohli unblocks him on social media

Recently, singer Rahul Vaidya made headlines when he criticized Indian cricketer Virat Kohli for blocking him on Instagram. After making disparaging remarks about Kohli and his supporters on social media, Vaidya came under fire.

A few days ago, Kohli's account's simple "like" on a post about social media star Avneet Kaur became the talk of the town, leading the Indian batter and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to clarify. Following Kohli's assertion that an Instagram algorithm error had caused an interaction to be captured from his account, social media activity somewhat slowed down before Vaidya fanned the fire.

"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 that I didn't). So, girls, please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?” Vaidya took a potshot at Kohli.

Rahul continued by saying that Kohli had blocked him on Instagram because of the post, but the RCB player had previously hinted that it might have been 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's 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"? Vaidya stated.

Virat Kohli is called one of the best batters by Rahul Vaidya

Vaidya then received hateful comments on social media as he kept up his tirade against Virat Kohli. Even his sister and wife, actress Disha Parmar, were dragged into it by the fans, but Vaidya continued his rant against the ace batter Virat Kohli.

However, Vaidya said on Instagram on Saturday that Kohli had unblocked him, suggesting that the two have now relaxed their tension. In a significant shift, Vaidya also gave him high marks, describing him as one of the greatest batters the sport has ever seen. Social media users are now sharing his Instagram tale.

"Thanks, Virat Kohli, for unblocking me. You are one of the best batsmen cricket has ever seen, and aap India ka garv ho! Jai Hind. God bless you and your family," Vaidya captioned the post on his Instagram story.
