Singer Rahul Vaidya was briefly questioned by paparazzi at Mumbai airport regarding his recent comments about cricketer Virat Kohli. Videos of the exchange were shared widely on social media.
Rahul Vaidya to paparazzi, “Unhone block kyun kiya uska jawab toh mile na mujhe” amid Virat Kohli row
When asked by paparazzi why he called Virat Kohli “pagal (crazy),” Rahul Vaidya clarified that he had actually said “joker.” Pressed further on his choice of words, he responded, “If I show you the screenshots, the kind of abuses that were directed at me, my family and my wife…” When questioned if Virat himself had abused his family, Rahul explained it was his fans who did.
A paparazzi remarked, “Aap Virat Kohli ko ghalat bologe toh gaali denge na woh log (If you say wrong things to him, then his fans will abuse you).” In response, Rahul Vaidya said, “I didn’t say anything wrong to him. I’m the biggest fan of cricket. Kahin na kahin unhone block kyun kiya uska jawab toh mile na mujhe (He should speak up why he blocked me).”
When a paparazzi commented, “Unke paas itna time kahan hoga sir aapko block karne ka (Where will he have the time to block you),” Rahul Vaidya responded, “To bas theek hai bas, humare paas toh bahut hai (Ok fine then, I’ve a lot of time).”
The incident began after Rahul Vaidya commented on Virat Kohli liking a post about actor Avneet Kaur. On Tuesday, Rahul claimed Virat blocked him and said his fans targeted him, his wife Disha Parmar, and sister Shruti Vaidya with abuse.
Rahul Vaidya initially shared a video on his Instagram Stories stating, “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 do. So, the girls), please don’t do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?”
In another Instagram Story, Rahul Vaidya said, “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 k algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, ‘Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kardeti hoon’. Hain na (Instagram’s algorithm told Virat Kohli, ‘I’ll block Rahul Vaidya on your behalf’) Right?”
Rahul Vaidya later wrote on Instagram Stories, “Virat Kohli’s fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!” He added, “And now you are abusing me that’s fine but you are abusing my wife 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.”
The controversy began when Virat Kohli’s Instagram account was seen liking a fan post about actor Avneet Kaur, prompting him to share a note clarifying the situation.
