Virat Kohli's brother Vikas has lashed out at singer Rahul Vaidya for his continuous verbal digs at the star Indian batter, claiming that he is trying to gain engagements at a time when the country is in the middle of a sensitive situation. Vikas also criticised Vaidya for not concentrating on his singing enough, else he would have been a lot more famous.
Kohli, 36, was recently involved in a controversy as he liked Avneet Kaur's 'bold' photos on Instagram and clarified that it was due to an 'algorithm glitch'. Following that, Vaidya revealed that Kohli had blocked him on the social media platform and took a dig, saying that it also might have been due to an 'algorithm glitch', referring back to the controversy involving Avneet Kaur. Later, the 37-year-old singer called Kohli's fans jokers over abusing him.
In the social media platform of Threads, Vikas had written:
"Bache itni mehnat agar apni singing pai karle toh shayad apni mehnat se famous ho jaae....While 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."
