Kohli Unblocks Vaidya: Tension Eases After Singer’s ‘Joker’ Remarks

Kohli and Vaidya: From Feud to Friendliest?

There’s been a surprising turn of events in the ongoing saga between singer Rahul Vaidya and cricketer Virat Kohli. After Vaidya publicly called Kohli’s fans ‘jokers’ and accused the cricketer of blocking him on Instagram, Kohli has now unblocked Vaidya.

Vaidya took to Instagram on Saturday to share the news, expressing his admiration for Kohli and calling him one of the best batsmen cricket has ever seen.

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.

A Brief History of the Feud

The tension between the two stars began when Vaidya criticized Kohli’s fans for being overly aggressive and toxic. He also claimed that Kohli had blocked him on Instagram, a move that fueled further controversy.

This wasn’t the first time Kohli’s social media activity had sparked debate. A few days prior, a simple ‘like’ from Kohli’s account on a post about social media celebrity Avneet Kaur had ignited a frenzy. The RCB and India batter later clarified that the interaction was a result of an Instagram algorithm error.

Amidst this controversy, Vaidya had also playfully suggested that Kohli’s blocking of him could be another Instagram glitch.

What’s Next?

With Kohli unblocking Vaidya, it seems the tension between the two has finally eased. It remains to be seen if this signals a newfound friendship or simply a desire to move on from the controversy.
