"Kohli is the most exciting.....it was contagious": LizLaz's SHOCKING CONFESSION after like-unlike drama

It started as a blink-and-miss moment on Instagram, but anything involving Virat Kohli rarely stays small. A simple like on a post by German vlogger and musician LizLaz quickly spiralled into a full-blown internet frenzy after the cricketer quietly removed it. Within hours, screenshots, memes, and speculation flooded social media, turning a routine social media interaction into headline material.

While Kohli has remained silent this time, the spotlight shifted to the woman at the center of it all. LizLaz, who woke up to find herself trending across Indian platforms, has now addressed the chaos in an exclusive chat with HT City. And her reaction? Far calmer than the storm around her.

“I woke up and suddenly I was everywhere,” she shared, still sounding amused by the scale of attention. She clarified that she had no idea when Kohli liked the picture in the first place and only found out through news reports and messages flooding her inbox.

“I Felt A Bit Bad For Him”: LizLaz Keeps It Real

Interestingly, while most expected excitement or shock, LizLaz’s response leaned more towards empathy. Speaking about the now-viral unlike, she said she actually felt sorry for Kohli.

“I was happy that he liked it, of course. But when he removed it, I felt a bit bad for him. I don’t think this was ever meant to become such a big deal,” she said, pointing out how quickly the internet can blow things out of proportion. Her reaction stands in contrast to the frenzy online, where fans dissected every second of the interaction. For LizLaz, it was less about the ‘like’ itself and more about how quickly people noticed it and turned it into a story.

She also revealed that the attention has brought a wave of opportunities her way, especially from India. However, she’s choosing to take things slow. With a clear focus on her passions, music and vlogging, she hinted at a possible return to India if the right projects come along.

From Germany To IPL Fandom

For many in India, LizLaz is a new name, but her connection to the country isn’t as random as it may seem. Born in South Africa and raised in Germany, she first visited India last year to meet a close friend in Bangalore. What was meant to be a short trip turned into a months-long journey across the country.

From Coorg to Mumbai, Chennai to Hyderabad, she explored India extensively and somewhere along the way, discovered cricket. Watching the IPL with her friends introduced her to the game, and like many newcomers, she found herself drawn to Royal Challengers Bangalore and, naturally, Kohli.

“It was contagious,” she admitted, recalling how she became a fan during her travels. That context makes her reaction to the ‘like’ even more genuine—it wasn’t just any celebrity interaction, but one involving a player she genuinely admires.

Déjà Vu? The Internet Brings Back The Avneet Kaur Episode

As the memes rolled in, it didn’t take long for social media to connect the dots to a familiar chapter, Kohli’s 2025 interaction with Avneet Kaur. Back then, a similar situation had unfolded when Kohli’s account liked a post of the actor, sparking speculation.

What made that incident different was Kohli’s response. He had addressed the chatter directly, posting a clarification about Instagram’s algorithm behaving unexpectedly and causing unintended activity. The explanation became a talking point in itself, with fans both amused and divided.

This time, however, Kohli has chosen to stay quiet. No clarification, no Instagram story, just silence. That absence of a response has only fueled the chatter further, with fans jokingly blaming the “algorithm” once again, while others simply enjoy the meme fest.

A Viral Moment, A Measured Response

For LizLaz, though, it’s been a surprisingly positive experience. Beyond the noise, she’s gained visibility, new audiences, and potential work opportunities in a country she already feels connected to. As for Kohli, whether he addresses it or lets it pass like a forgotten scroll moment remains to be seen.
