Rahul Vaidya targets Virat Kohli

After Virat's clarification came out, singer and Bigg Boss 16 fame Rahul K Vaidya blasted Kohli for what he called a baseless explanation. In a video, Rahul said, "Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So, jo bhi ladki ho (I want to say that going forward, the algorithm might like many photos which I didn't like. So, the girls), please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?"

Rahul also claimed that Kohli has blocked him on Instagram because of the post, though he added it might just be an 'Instagram glitch', as the RCB star himself had suggested.

"So guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. I think that too is an Instagram glitch. Virat Kohli didn't block me. Instagram ke algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, 'Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kar deti hoon.' Hain na? (Instagram's algorithm told Virat Kohli, 'I'll block Rahul Vaidya on your behalf.') Right?" he signed off.

After Rahul's videos caught Virat's fans' attention, they severely trolled him. This made Rahul put out another message where he indirectly called Virat a joker. In his Instagram story, Rahul said, "Virat Kohli's fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!" He went on to express his anger over the abuse targeted at his family, saying, "And now you are abusing me — that's fine — but you are abusing my wife and 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 (worthless) jokers."
