Rahul Vaidya Faces Backlash from Virat Kohli Fans Over Recent Video

Rahul Vaidya appears to be continuing his online comments about Virat Kohli and his fans. The singer has mentioned before that he was blocked by the cricketer on Instagram. On Tuesday, Rahul shared a new video on his Instagram. The video shows him singing the song "Joker." He recorded the video while he was traveling in a car. This is another instance where Rahul seems to be talking about his situation with Virat Kohli.

In the caption of his video, Rahul Vaidya wrote, “My fav song since yesterday" and dropped a joker emoji.

Rahul Vaidya's video has again upset Virat Kohli's fans. After the video was posted, people reacted negatively, criticizing the singer for what they saw as disrespect towards the "legend." Some fans accused Rahul of trying to gain attention by mentioning Virat's name. Others encouraged people to unfollow the singer on social media. One user wrote, "He's just using Virat's name for more followers! Shame on you."

Speaking with Zoom, Rahul said, "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.”

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?
