Virat Kohli's brother slams Rahul Vaidya's 'joker' remark; labels him a 'LOSER' chasing fame

Virat Kohli's family has addressed the ongoing online spat involving singer Rahul Vaidya, which began after Vaidya mocked Kohli for his explanation of a controversial Instagram incident. The altercation, fueled by Kohli’s claimed “Instagram glitch,” escalated when Vaidya called the cricketer a “joker” on social media. Vaidya's remarks, including mocking Kohli's defense of an Instagram like on actress Avneet Kaur's photo, sparked a wave of comments from Kohli's fans.

Vaidya further stirred the pot by sharing multiple posts on social media, including one where he claimed that Kohli had blocked him years ago. In his now-deleted Instagram Story, Vaidya quipped, “So guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. I think that too is an Instagram glitch. Instagram k algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, ‘Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kardeti hoon’. Hain na?"

The tension has reached new heights after Vikas Kohli, Virat’s brother, took to Threads to hit back at the singer. He strongly criticized Rahul’s comments, writing, “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 whats going on… this idiot is on a mission to gain followers and become famous taking Virat’s name… WHAT A LOSER."

This direct response from Virat’s family comes after Rahul continued to mock Kohli’s explanation. In one post, Vaidya sarcastically suggested that the Instagram algorithm might have mistakenly liked several photos on Kohli’s behalf. He joked, “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, please don’t do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?"

Adding fuel to the fire, a throwback video recently resurfaced, showing Rahul serenading Kohli's wife, actress Anushka Sharma, on stage during an event. In the clip, Vaidya is seen singing to Anushka and kissing her hand, prompting memes and jokes across social media. Fans speculated that this old moment might explain why Kohli blocked Vaidya in the first place, but no official statement has clarified the reason behind the block.

This back-and-forth between Vaidya and Kohli’s family has now become a trending topic, with social media users weighing in on both sides. The ongoing spat highlights the growing tensions between celebrities in the digital space, with fans fueling the fire on both sides.
