Tamannaah Bhatia's Indirect Dig At Virat Kohli: The Instagram ‘Like' Saga Explained
In the fast-paced world of social media, even a simple Instagram 'like' can become headline news—especially when it involves celebrities. Recently, Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia found herself in the spotlight after her official Instagram account accidentally liked a reel featuring actress Deepika Padukone. This seemingly minor social media slip has sparked widespread speculation, drawing intriguing parallels to a similar incident involving cricket icon Virat Kohli. Here's the full story behind this digital drama, unpacking the key moments, standout reactions, and what it reveals about celebrity life online. — Akash Kharade (@cricaakash) June 1, 2025 Tamannaah Bhatia's Accidental Instagram 'Like' Sparks Controversy The controversy began when Tamannaah's Instagram account liked a reel that highlighted pressing issues like gender pay gaps, toxic work culture, and misogyny. This reel was particularly topical, tied closely to the recent buzz surrounding Deepika Padukone and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly anticipated but controversial film Spirit137. The timing couldn't have been more sensitive. Deepika's exit from the film, replaced by actress Triptii Dimri, stirred intense speculation across entertainment circles. Many fans and followers took Tamannaah's 'like' as a subtle statement—whether intentional or accidental—about the ongoing dispute, especially since the reel spotlighted systemic problems in Bollywood. As the 'like' gained traction, Tamannaah broke her silence via Instagram Stories with a playful yet pointed message: 'Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own cause random ppl are making this news and I really have work to do.' This cheeky post suggested that the accidental interaction was more about Instagram's mysterious algorithm than any deliberate move from the actress herself. The Virat Kohli Connection: When Instagram Algorithms Go Rogue Interestingly, Tamannaah's explanation was widely perceived as an indirect jab at cricket superstar Virat Kohli, who recently faced a similar online storm. Kohli's verified Instagram account had accidentally liked a fan page photo of actress Avneet Kaur, prompting a wave of memes, jokes, and online speculation. Like Tamannaah, Kohli addressed the incident on Instagram Stories, stating: '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.' This incident shed light on the growing phenomenon of social media algorithms causing unintended celebrity interactions—whether through auto-likes or glitches—that can quickly spiral into viral moments. Tamannaah's cheeky post, echoing Kohli's wording about the 'algorithm,' subtly highlighted the shared challenges celebrities face in navigating a digital world where even an accidental tap can trigger gossip storms. Deepika Padukone, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and the Spirit Drama: The Bigger Picture Adding fuel to the fire, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga took to X (formerly Twitter) with a cryptic but fiery post that many read as a direct critique of Deepika Padukone. Without naming her, Vanga wrote about an 'unsaid NDA' and questioned the actress's commitment to feminism and the integrity of his story. This public spat comes on the heels of Deepika's sudden exit from Spirit, with Triptii Dimri stepping in as the new female lead alongside superstar Prabhas. The director's dramatic statements, combined with the cast changes, have made Spirit one of Bollywood's most talked-about projects even before production has fully kicked off. Fans eagerly await the film's release, intrigued not only by its star power but also by the backstage drama unfolding online. Why This Instagram 'Like' Saga Matters for Celebrity Social Media Management This unfolding saga highlights a crucial reality: in today's digital age, celebrity social media accounts are not just personal platforms but public stages where even unintentional actions carry weighty implications. From Tamannaah Bhatia to Virat Kohli, high-profile figures are at the mercy of ever-evolving algorithms that can inadvertently spark rumors or fan frenzy. The incidents also underscore the need for media literacy—encouraging fans to pause before reading too much into accidental likes or comments. For journalists, marketers, and fans alike, the takeaway is clear: digital perception is as powerful as real-world actions, and managing that perception requires constant vigilance.

Two easy-to-make homemade face masks with simple kitchen ingredients. They help maintain her radiant look even after long days of makeup and styling. Beauty rituals passed down by her mother In a conversation with Vogue India, the actress shared that her skincare routine has always been influenced by her mother's advice. She revealed that when she began her acting career as a teenager, her mother introduced her to natural skincare remedies to balance the effects of daily makeup and hairstyling. Bhatia shared that she was excited to reveal her beauty secrets and the skincare rituals she had been following since childhood. The Odela 2 actress mentioned that these practices were taught to her by her mother when she began her acting career, as she had to wear makeup and style her hair daily. To balance the effects of those chemicals, she wanted to include something natural in her routine. Tamannaah also highlighted the importance of using raw and organic ingredients. The fashion maven recommended adjusting the mask consistency according to your skin type. For those with dry skin, she advised adding more honey to hydrate and moisturize. Exfoliating face scrub mask This mask is designed to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving the face soft and smooth. Ingredients: 1 teaspoon sandalwood powder (chandan) 1 teaspoon powdered coffee 1 teaspoon organic raw honey How to Use: Mix the ingredients together to form a paste. Apply it to your face, gently massaging in circular motions while avoiding the eye area. Leave the scrub on for about 10 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry. Tamannaah notes that this scrub helps make the skin feel supple and refreshed. Moisturizing face mask This mask helps soothe and hydrate the skin, especially after exfoliation. Ingredients: Rosewater Gram flour (besan) Cold yogurt (dahi) How to Use: Combine the ingredients into a smooth mixture and apply it evenly across the face, including under the eyes. Leave the mask on until it dries, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry. This mask cools the skin, reduces redness, and provides deep moisturization. The Happy Days actress added that if you're in a rush, simply applying rosewater after using the exfoliating mask can also be beneficial. These simple DIY remedies reflect the timeless wisdom of natural skincare and prove that sometimes the best beauty secrets really do come from home.

‘Kohli Effect': Tamannaah's clarification after liking Deepika's video reminds fans of Virat Kohli's recent fiasco
Yesterday, a fan-made reel of Deepika Padukone began doing the rounds amid her ongoing controversy with Sandeep Reddy Vanga over his upcoming film Spirit. The reason why this video went viral is because eagle-eyed netizens noticed that it was 'liked' by Tamannaah Bhatia's official social media handle. In this clip, over an old interview of Deepika a netizen has written: 'propaganda she's not falling for: disrespect, men, sexism, gender pay gap, working overtime, unprofessionalism, misogyny, double standards.' Later, Tamannaah broke her silence and shared a clarification message, blaming Instagram for the unintentional like. Along with a video of her rolling her eyes, Tamannaah Bhatia wrote, 'Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on it own 🤣🤣🤣 cause random ppl are making this news and I really have work to do.' This message shared by Tamannaah reminded several netizens of cricketer Virat Kohli's recent fiasco. It all started after trolls pointed out that Virat had 'liked' a picture of actor Avneet Kaur shared by a fan page, on his wife Anushka Sharma's birthday. He was brutally trolled before Virat put an end to speculation with a clarification, which read: 'I'd like clarify that 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. Thank you for your understanding.' Drawing parallels between the two situations, a social media user claimed, 'I'm liking this Virat Kohli approach to blame every interaction with the feed on the algorithm. Seems fun 😁,' whereas another called it, 'Kohli Effect☠️.' Another agreed and wrote, 'Kohli effect ka chakkar babu bhaiya.... Kohli effect ka chakkar.' Referring to old dating rumours about Virat and Tamannaah, a netizen stated, 'Virat and unki exes ko target kar raha instagram kya?,' whereas another wrote, 'she really kohlied it.' What are your thoughts on this whole situation?

After Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Targets Instagram Algorithm for "Liking" Pages "On Its Own"
Mumbai (Maharashtra): Actor Tamannaah took to her Instagram Story to post about how the social media platform apparently "likes" pages "on its own". "Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own, cause random people are making it news and I have work to do," Tamannaah said on Wednesday while posting a story with a selfie of herself. Reportedly, Tamannaah liked an Instagram reel that features Deepika Padukone and which highlighted issues such as the gender pay gap, unprofessional work environments, and misogyny. The Odela 2 actor's post comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding actor Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga over the movie Spirit. Previously, Virat Kohli found himself at the centre of online chatter after several users noticed that his verified Instagram account had liked a post from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur. The star cricketer later took to his Instagram Story to share a short note to clear the air. In the post, Kohli, without naming anyone, stated that the 'like' seemed to be a mistake caused by the "app's algorithm" while he was "clearing his feed." "I'd like to clarify that 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. Thank you for your understanding," read his Instagram Story. Recently, filmmaker Vanga stirred speculation on social media with a fiery post that many believe targets an unnamed actress who was earlier part of his upcoming film, "Spirit". Though he did not name anyone directly, many believe Vanga was referring to Deepika Padukone, who reportedly stepped away from the project recently. In a post shared on his official X handle, Vanga voiced frustration over a broken "unsaid NDA" and alleged betrayal of trust, and wrote, "When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 per cent faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are..." "Putting down a younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it," he the director did not confirm the identity of the actress in question, his reference to a female lead exiting 'Spirit', and being replaced by a "younger actor," aligns with recent reports involving Deepika Padukone, who was initially cast opposite Prabhas in the film. In March 2025, rumours surfaced online alleging that the plot of Spirit had been leaked, with some claiming similarities to the Tamil film Theri. However, the source of the leak remains unverified, and no direct evidence has been presented linking Padukone or any other actor to the incident. Shortly after Deepika's departure, the film's makers confirmed that actress Triptii Dimri, who previously appeared in Vanga's blockbuster Animal, will now play the female lead in Spirit. Vanga shared the update on Instagram and wrote, "The female lead for my film is now official :-)"Triptii also took to social media to express her gratitude and wrote, "Still sinking in... So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you @ Honoured to be a part of your vision."The announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans, with many praising Dimri's previous performance and expressing excitement about her collaboration with Vanga once again.'Spirit', directed by Vanga and produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, is one of the most anticipated upcoming films starring Prabhas in the lead film has attracted significant attention due to its high-profile cast and the director's last blockbuster, Animal.
