While Virat chose to address the matter publicly, Avneet Kaur had so far maintained her silence and refrained from commenting on the buzz. Now, at the trailer launch of her international film Love in Vietnam, the actress was finally asked about the incident in subtle manner.

With grace and a smile, she simply said,
“Milta rahe pyaar… aur kya hi keh sakti hoon. (May the love keep coming… what more can I really say).”

The frenzy became so widespread that Kohli felt compelled to step in and clarify the situation. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the cricketer wrote,
“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.”

Upcoming endeavours of Avneet Kaur, and Virat Kohli
With “Love in Vietnam,” Avneet Kaur steps into the global spotlight, headlining this passionate cross-cultural romantic drama alongside Indian actor Shantanu Maheswari and Vietnamese actor Kha Ngan—an evocative tale that spans Punjab and Vietnam and draws inspiration from the classic Turkish novel “Madonna in a Fur Coat.”
On the other hand, Virat Kohli is gearing up for a major return to international cricket.
Though he has retired from both Test and T20 formats, sources suggest he is preparing for a comeback in One Day Internationals, notably aiming toward India’s upcoming high-stakes ODI series against Australia in October 2025.
