Singer Rahul Vaidya opens up about being blocked by Virat Kohli and reveals how Vikas Kohli reacted to the controversy involving Avneet Kaur.
The tension between singer Rahul Vaidya and cricketer Virat Kohli made headlines recently, sparking online buzz and fan backlash. The issue began when Rahul hinted that the RCB champion had liked a post featuring actress Avneet Kaur, prompting a response that shook social media. Rahul later claimed that Virat blocked him following the comment, and also alleged that the cricketer's fans targeted his family – including his wife and daughter – with abusive messages.
Now, in a recent chat with Instant Bollywood, Rahul has opened up further about the fallout. He shared that Virat's brother, Vikas Kohli, personally reached out to him after the incident and expressed displeasure about his public remarks involving the Indian cricket star.
Rahul recalled, 'After the incident, his brother had said some things to me. 'Isse accha aap apni singing pe dhyaan dijiye.' He is the same Vikas Kohli who had met me outside a stadium in Manchester and praised my singing. But I know how it feels because these small controversies also have an impact on the person's family. He did not like whatever was happening, and that's the reason he said all these things to me."
Reflecting on what Vikas said, the singer added, ''Aap kyu Virat ke baare mein bol rahe ho? Aap kyu publicity le rahe ho?' He said something like this, I don't remember the exact words. Then he said, 'Isse achha toh aap apne singing pe dhyan dete.' I know Vikas is a good guy, and I have not taken anything he said to my heart. Because the problem is that people just want to react without even knowing what the matter is."
For those unfamiliar, the drama began when Rahul commented on Virat allegedly liking a social media post related to Avneet Kaur. Things escalated when Rahul revealed he was blocked by Kohli and became the target of fan outrage, including verbal attacks aimed at his loved ones.
This ongoing back-and-forth has drawn mixed reactions online, with many weighing in on whether celebrities should call each other out publicly or handle matters privately.
