Overview

• At the Mumbai trailer launch of Love in Vietnam on August 25, Avneet Kaur responded indirectly with “Milta rahe pyaar, bas,” meaning she welcomes the appreciation.
• The remark is her first on-the-record acknowledgment since screenshots of Virat Kohli’s brief Instagram 'like' circulated earlier this year.
• Kohli had previously clarified on Instagram that the interaction was unintentional, saying an algorithm may have registered it while he was clearing his feed, and the 'like' was removed.
• Media reports attribute tangible gains to Kaur following the episode, including more than one million new followers, about 12 brand endorsements, and an estimated 30% rise in brand value.
• Coverage now centers on Kaur’s film promotion and the incident’s resolution, with no new escalation reported.
