The tussle between singer Rahul Vaidya and cricketer Virat Kohli has turned into a new page, with Kohli's family finally opening their mouths. Ever since Rahul mocked Kohli and called him a "joker," the cricketer's brother Vikas Kohli has lashed back with a fiercely worded statement.
Rahul Vaidya's Comments on Virat Kohli
Controversy started when Rahul Vaidya trolled Virat Kohli for his defense of an "algorithm glitch" on Instagram. Kohli had explained that his reported like on actress Avneet Kaur's picture was by mistake, attributing this to Instagram's algorithm. Rahul ridiculed this explanation openly by posting several videos and caustic remarks.
Rahul wrote in one of his posts:
‘’Haan kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like kar de jo maine nahi kiye. So, jo bhi ladki ho, please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?"
Rahul also made the claim that Kohli had blocked him on Instagram, although he playfully intimated that it could be an "algorithm glitch" again.
Virat Kohli’s Brother Vikas Kohli Hits Back
Virat Kohli himself remained silent on the matter, but his brother, Vikas Kohli, took to social media to respond. In a post on Threads, Vikas slammed Rahul Vaidya, calling him a "loser" who was trying to gain fame by dragging Virat’s name into controversy.
Virat Kohli's Family Reacts to Rahul Vaidya:
Virat Kohli's brother Vikas Kohli says "Bache, itni mehnat agar apni singing pe kar le to shayad apni mehnat se famous ho jaaye… While the whole nation is focused on the current situation of what's going on, this idiot is on a mission to gain followers and become famous by taking Virat’s name… WHAT A LOSER."
His statement quickly gained traction, with Kohli’s fans rallying behind him and criticizing Rahul for his remarks.
Throwback Video Adds Fuel to the Fire
Amid the controversy, an old video resurfaced showing Rahul Vaidya serenading Virat Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, at an event. In the clip, Rahul is seen singing to Anushka and kissing her hand, sparking fresh speculation about the origins of his feud with Kohli.
Fans joked that this moment might have been the real reason behind Kohli blocking Rahul on Instagram.
The feud between Rahul Vaidya and Virat Kohli’s family has intensified, with Kohli’s brother publicly calling out the singer. While Kohli himself has chosen to stay silent, his family’s response has made it clear that they are not amused by Rahul’s remarks.
