Tamannaah Bhatia Takes Indirect Dig at Virat Kohli Over Accidental Instagram Likes

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has stirred social media by taking what seems like a subtle jab at cricketer Virat Kohli, right after he faced backlash for accidentally liking a photo of actress Avneet Kaur on Instagram. Tamannaah posted a witty video that quickly went viral, appearing to mock the increasing number of celebrities who blame the app’s algorithm for unintended actions.

Tamannaah Reacts With Humor on Instagram

On Wednesday, Tamannaah Bhatia shared a short video on her Instagram Stories. In the clip, she made a funny face and wrote, “Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on it own cause random ppl are making this news and I really have work to do.” Her post immediately grabbed attention and sparked debate across social media.

Her message directly referred to Virat Kohli’s recent statement, in which he explained that his account accidentally liked a picture of Avneet Kaur because of an algorithmic glitch. Kohli wrote, “While clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it.”

Tamannaah Clarifies Her Own Instagram Activity

Tamannaah also shared the video at a time when people began talking about her liking an Instagram reel that featured Deepika Padukone from the Chhapaak press conference. The reel highlighted serious issues like sexism, the gender pay gap, and unprofessional behavior in the film industry. In the video, Deepika shut down a sexist question about whether she used her husband Ranveer Singh’s money to fund the film.

When people noticed Tamannaah’s like, they assumed she supported Deepika Padukone in her ongoing controversy with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga over the film Spirit. To counter the growing speculation, Tamannaah posted the humorous video and blamed the like on Instagram’s accidental behavior—just like Kohli did.

Her video cleverly mocked how celebrities often blame algorithms for controversial online actions. At the same time, she distanced herself from taking any clear side in industry-related debates.

Tamannaah’s Latest Film Project

On the professional front, Tamannaah recently appeared in “Odela 2,” a supernatural thriller. She played a powerful sadhvi named Shiva Shakthi, who fights dark forces threatening a village protected by the deity Odela Mallanna Swamy.
