Earlier this week, Virat Kohli, a cricketer, went to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships with his wife, Anushka Sharma, an actress. On Monday, the well-known pair was seen in the center court, taking in Novak Djokovic's performance. Notably, there were other Indian celebrities present at the game besides Anushka and Virat. Also present was the performer Avneet Kaur. Moreover, the internet is having a blast with this 'coincidence,' considering Virat's amusing relationship with Avneet (think likegate?).

At Wimbledon, Avneet Kaur, Anushka Sharma, and Virat Kohli

As Novak Djokovic took the court on Monday, Virat and Anushka were seated in the royal box in the middle of the court. The celebrity couple was seen in their best formal attire while they watched the game. Some on the internet even turned Virat's solemn demeanor into a meme, questioning why he appeared to be so dejected or uninterested.

Avneet Kaur shared a carousel post of her trip to the current Wimbledon Championships on her Instagram account on Tuesday night. She was shown in the images striking a pose at many spots around the legendary site, including courtside. She provided glimpses of the match she watched, such as a close shot of Djokovic getting ready to serve.

The internet responds

Eagle-eyed social media users were quick to notice that Avneet was in the center court at the same time as Anushka and Virat. This would often be a coincidence, but Virat and Avneet have a particularly humorous relationship. The cricketer's Instagram account liked a photo on one of Avneet's fan pages earlier this year. The 'engagement' was 'triggered by the algorithm,' Virat had to declare in a statement.

Given this history, the coincidence elicited roaring laughter from the crowd. "Virat also there ... interesting," one person said. "It makes sense why Virat was so serious," another added, "given that he was at Wimbledon at the same time as Avneet." "Virat bhai ka peecha kr rahi hai (She is stalking Virat)," read one humorous remark made by some cricket enthusiasts.

Indeed, a lot of people said that Urvashi Rautela, who is infamous for being 'obsessed' with Rishabh Pant, a teammate of Virat's, was responsible. "Move over Urvashi, you have competition," read one remark.

Regarding Avneet Kaur

At the age of 8, Avneet started her career with the dance competition Dance India Dance Li'l Masters on Zee TV. With Meri Maa, she finally made her acting debut in 2012. She starred as a youngster in programs like Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga, Chandra Nandini, Ek Mutthi Aasmaan, and Savitri – Ek Prem Kahani. She made her film debut in Rani Mukerji's Mardaani in 2014. In 2023, Avneet played her first role as the main character in Tiku Weds Sheru, co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
