Singer Rahul Vaidya has been taking jibes at Virat Kohli’s explanation for unintentionally liking Avneet Kaur’s photo on social media. He also called Virat’s fans ‘do kaudi ke jokers’ for allegedly targeting him and his family online, further fuelling the controversy. Now, the cricketer’s brother, Vikas Kohli, has slammed the singer for his comments. He called Rahul a ‘loser’ for making such remarks during cross-border tensions.
Vikas took to social media to defend Virat, and wrote on Threads, “Bache itni mehnat agar apni singing pai karle to shayad apni mehnat se famous ho jaae….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 taking Virat’s name….WHAT A LOSER (sic).”

His response came after Rahul Vaidya posted a video calling Virat Kohli a “joker” and accused the cricketer of allegedly blocking him on Instagram. After he shared the post, the RCB star’s fans came into his defense. Rahul responded, “Virat Kohli’s fans are even bigger jokers than Virat! And now you are abusing me that’s fine but you are abusing my wife my sister.. who have nothing to do with this! So I was right. That’s why you all Virat Kohli fans are jokers! 2 kaudi ke jokers,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
Earlier, Virat had given a clarification on liking a photo of Avneet on Instagram. “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 (sic),” his statement read.
In another video, Rahul had said, “So, guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, all you all know. So I think voh bhi Instagram ki glitch hogi, voh Virat Kohli ne block nahi kiya hoga. Instagram ke algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko, ‘Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kar deti hoon.’ Haina (Instagram’s algorithm told Virat Kohli, ‘I’ll block Rahul Vaidya on your behalf’) Right?”
Meanwhile, while talking to Zoom, the singer clarified, “Virat Kohli has blocked me for some reason. I am not even aware about the reason. I used to be his fan. I am still a fan of the cricketer, but I don’t endorse him as a human being. Yesterday, I put a very humourous story, saying that he had liked Avneet Kaur’s fan page picture. Then he gave clarification, citing that it was some algorithm glitch. So, probably, I am blocked because of the algorithm ne Virat Kohli ke behalf pe mujhe galti se block kar diya hoga.”
He further added, “Eventually, the fans started abusing me. So, I had to give a reply by putting a simple status in which I called them ‘jokers’ rather than using bad words. Now, I am being trolled; my wife and sister are being trolled. They have been trolled with cuss words and getting abuse on their mother and sister. That’s very common right now. What do you expect from jokers?”
