Virat Kohli’s Adorable Moment with Daughter Vamika Kohli Melts Hearts as Social Media Frenzy Swirls Around Instagram Gaffe
Bengaluru, May 3, 2025 – In a world that rarely pauses for a quiet moment, Virat Kohli and his daughter Vamika Kohli just gave the internet one to cherish. A candid photograph capturing the Indian cricket icon strolling hand-in-hand with his four-year-old daughter at a team hotel in Bengaluru has gone viral, offering a wholesome counterbalance to the social media storm brewing over Kohli’s accidental interaction with a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur.
A Heartfelt Snapshot Captivates the Nation
The viral image, widely shared on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), shows Kohli in casual attire, smiling gently as he walks beside Vamika Kohli, who, true to her parents’ consistent choice, has her face turned away from the camera. Dressed in a cheerful, playful outfit, the little one’s presence added a splash of innocence and warmth, prompting fans to flood timelines with emojis, admiration, and affection.
For fans, the photograph wasn’t just a cute celebrity sighting—it was a rare and intimate peek into Kohli’s world as a father, a role he plays with as much grace as he does the cover drive.
The Virushka Family: Cherished Yet Private
Since welcoming Vamika Kohli in January 2021 and their son Akaay in February 2024, Kohli and Anushka Sharma—dubbed “Virushka” by their admirers—have maintained a respectful distance between their family life and the public eye. That’s why each unfiltered glimpse, like this one, feels like a small treasure.
Earlier this year, a throwback from Vamika Kohli’s birthday party—shared by singer Neeti Mohan—offered a pastel-hued view of the couple’s joy, further endearing them to fans who admire their balance of fame and family.
Instagram Gaffe Sparks Online Drama
But while Vamika Kohli’s moment warmed hearts, another stoked a flurry of memes and controversy. On May 1—coincidentally, Anushka’s 37th birthday—fans noticed a “like” from Kohli’s verified Instagram handle on a fan page post of 23-year-old Avneet Kaur. The image, showcasing Kaur in a green crop top and printed skirt, sent social media into a tailspin.
Comments poured in. “Kohli saab, what is this behaviour?” one fan asked cheekily. Another joked, “Akaay beta, papa ko phone do.”
The intrigue deepened as users speculated whether the accidental like was the work of Kohli himself, or perhaps a toddler tap from Vamika or Akaay. Within hours, the cricketer removed the like, but not before screenshots spread like wildfire.
Kohli swiftly addressed the issue on May 2 through an Instagram Story, writing:
“I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”
Yet, the internet wasn’t ready to let go. Some sceptics labelled it a “Grow Up Chiku” moment, while die-hard fans sprang to his defence, even commenting on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s posts demanding algorithm accountability—proof of Kohli’s unmatched digital reach.
A Legend at Work—And Home
While the internet buzzes, Kohli remains focused where it matters most—on the pitch and with his loved ones. Leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2025, the cricketing superstar is enjoying a stellar season with 443 runs in 10 innings at an average of 63.28, putting him firmly in contention for the Orange Cap. His next big face-off? A high-octane clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Off the field, Kohli continues to earn admiration for being a devoted husband and father. His birthday tribute to Anushka on May 1—calling her his “best friend, life partner, and guiding light”—set a romantic, grounded tone for the day, only to be briefly overshadowed by the Instagram misstep.

In the swirl of memes and media speculation, it’s the quiet, tender image of Kohli and Vamika Kohli that truly resonated. As one fan put it, “This is the picture of the day—no, the week.”
It’s a reminder that while headlines may chase controversy, what stays with people are the genuine, human moments of a father walking beside his daughter, beaming with pride, unbothered by the noise of fame.
As IPL 2025 heats up and Kohli continues to lead RCB’s charge, his fans aren’t just cheering for centuries and sixes. They’re celebrating the man behind the jersey—a cricket legend, a loving husband, and above all, a devoted dad.
