'Finally after 18 years, the day has come when we will be lifting the cup. Mr 18, inarguably the best IPL player in history, is going to lift his first trophy. Are you guys with me? RCB, you ever-losing beauty, you have taught us the true meaning of patience," he said.

Nakuul jokingly also promised to learn Kannada, eat South Indian breakfast, and even build a temple for Virat Kohli if RCB wins the trophy. 'Guys, just win this one and if you guys win it, I promise I'll learn Kannada and upload this video again. Bro, I'll even start eating South Indian breakfast. I'll move to wherever the Wi-Fi is good. Why don't you guys just do it and I'll do everything it takes. I'll make a temple for Virat Kohli, eat rasam for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'll even clear all of Vijay Mallya's debts. Just win this one," he added.
Several social media users reacted to Nakuul's video and also extended support to Virat Kohli's RCB. 'RCB and our love for them ❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭," one of the users wrote. 'Exactly our situation, from morning it feels like something stuck on my neck, I can't swallow unless today's match finishes," added another. 'Of course we will win & it's time to show power of our team🙌," a third comment read.
Nakuul Mehta has always expressed his admiration for Virat Kohli. Earlier this year, when Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, Nakuul dropped a picture of the cricketer on his stories and wrote in the caption, 'Test cricket will never be the same." The actor also shared a video, paying tribute to Kohli's remarkable journey and said, 'There are some farewells that don't feel like an ending but a punch to the gut. Virat Kohli."

Walton Goggins breaks silence on Aimee Lou Wood feud rumours, tears up about wife's tragic death: ‘I love this woman madly'
Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood, who played a romantic couple in the third season of HBO's White Lotus, addressed rumours of a fallout in an interview with Variety. The on-screen couple, once inseparable while playing Rick and Chelsea, had been at the centre of feud rumours ever since season 3 wrapped up. From the SNL parody to a quiet Instagram unfollow, the signs were all there. But the two are shutting it all down. They kicked things off with a 30-second hug, traded compliments, and then calmly said what needed to be said: 'There is no feud.' Also read: Are Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood feuding after on-set romance gone wrong? White Lotus 3 controversy explained 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,' Goggins said. With tears in his eyes, he continued, 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything — and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be… She is love, and I know I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' During the conversation, Goggins explained that he always goes underground after completing an emotional task. This time, it was the show, and more than that, the backdrop, which was Thailand. He opened up about the most painful time in his life, when he spent months in the country back in 2004, after his wife died by suicide. So, returning to the same place years later for the shoot made everything feel heavier. After the wrap, he didn't speak to anyone. 'I couldn't handle it,' he says. 'Judge me or don't. This is my process.' Right there, during the interview, he picked up his phone and re-followed Aimee on Instagram. They laughed about how ridiculous things can get. 'It's just a part of me saying goodbye to this character,' he said. 'So now Aimee and I can be friends forever.' In return, she hugged him and said, 'I completely understand.' He went, 'I love you.' About why the duo unfollowed each other, Wood explained, 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram… Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Also read: White Lotus star Walton Goggins flaunts his newfound sex symbol status on SNL, jokes about his receding hairline Earlier, a headline from Goggins' Times interview floated around, with the actor reportedly saying, 'Walton Goggins: Aimee Lou Wood? I'm not gonna have that conversation.' Goggins said the talk was taken completely out of context. He explained he refused to talk about her not because there's a feud, but because she wasn't there to speak for herself, and because one of the journalist's questions compared their teeth. 'It was disgusting,' he said. 'So appalling I ended the interview.' Goggins added, 'What he was insinuating, I was flabbergasted. And I said, 'Fu** mate, wow. I think we're done here.'' Aimee had earlier publicly criticised the Saturday Night Live sketch of White Lotus 3 that mocked her appearance, especially her teeth, a parody she thought was mean-spirited. For Goggins, he had no idea and claimed he'd innocently reposted it because Jon Hamm did an impression of him, he hadn't seen the full sketch and didn't realise how Aimee felt. When he saw her reaction, he deleted his post immediately. He felt awful. Aimee said she didn't want anyone to think she was upset with Goggins for hosting SNL. She said, 'Of course Walton should host SNL! He's had a huge career!' She just didn't like how the sketch reduced her to a joke about her looks, not the comedy, but the tone felt off to her. 'It felt misogynistic,' she said, because the joke was about how she looked, not something she did. 'Then the next day, I made a vicious swipe against my friend. I've been posting for 14 fu*** years,' Goggins added. 'And if I'm gonna say something, but I'm gonna say it to your face,' he says. 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.'

The White Lotus stars Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood say 'there is no feud', reveal why he unfollowed her on Instagram
The White Lotus season 3 not only broke viewership records when it was released earlier this year but also generated its fair share of controversies. The popular show featured a new on-screen pairing: Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood. If rumour mills were to be believed, the two had an infamous falling out after the show, with Walton unfollowing Aimee on Instagram. However, the duo has now rubbished those reports, saying there is no feud. In a joint interaction with Variety, their first since the show's release, Walton opened up: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love, and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' The actor was on the verge of choking up as he praised his co-star. The rumours of the feud began when Walton unfollowed Aimee on Instagram right after the show began streaming. Addressing this, she said, 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram. Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea (their characters) and enjoy it?' Aimee added that initially, she wanted to address the reports, but then 'just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing'. Created by Mike White, The White Lotus is a black comedy anthology with each season set in a new luxury resort around the world. Season 3 was set in Thailand, and starred Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood, Sam Rockwell and Scott Glenn. It received critical acclaim.
