Singer Rahul Vaidya has been making headlines for his remarks regarding Virat Kohli. While the singer made a statement that was speculated to be about Virat Kohli liking a post made in tribute to Avneet Kaur, Rahul alleged that he was blocked by the cricketer. On Saturday night, Rahul has now disclosed that Virat unblocked him on Instagram. Rahul not only thanked the latter but also referred to him ‘one of the greatest batsman’ the game has ever had.
Rahul Thanks Virat Kohli on Instagram
He took to his Instagram Stories and shared a note, which read, “Thank you @virat.kohli for unblocking me (red heart emoticon)… you are one of the best batsman cricket has ever seen and Aap India ka garv ho (You are the pride of India)! Jai Hind (tricolour emoticon) God bless you and your family (hug and red heart emoticon).”
In a separate post, Rahul further addressed his previous comments and said, “Also the immatured people who abused my wife and sister, morphed my lil girl’s pics and sent so many abuses to me and my loved ones and are still continuing to do so. Bhagwan aap sab ko sadbuddi de (May god grant you some goodwill) I can write the same and even worse things to you but I won’t because it will only increase negativity which takes us nowhere!”

He added, “Also Virat Kohli bhai apne mujhe jo bhi kaha I didn’t feel bad because I know you are a very good human being and I remember you meeting me outside Manchester or Oval stadium and all the nice things you said to me about my singing. Love and peace to all.”
Past Outburst Against Virat Kohli and His Fans
Earlier, Rahul had lashed out at Virat and his fans via his Instagram Stories. Rahul wrote on his Instagram Stories, “Virat Kohli’s fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!” He also said, “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.”
Virat was recently at the centre of controversy after a few users spotted that his verified Instagram account had liked a post by a fan page for actor Avneet Kaur. He posted a quick note on his Instagram Stories to put things right.
