The 23-year-old actress, known for her roles in Indian television shows like Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga and films such as Mardaani, Avneet Kaur, was also spotted at the same Centre Court match, as Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. 

Where Kohli dressed impeccably in a tailored tan suit, Anushka Sharma was radiating in a chic white blazer and top, was spotted cheering enthusiastically for Djokovic. The couple, known for their love of tennis, and Kohli later shared his admiration for Djokovic on Instagram: “A masterclass on grass! @djokernole never fails to amaze.”. 

However, in some candid shots, Anushka Sharma got caught frequently peeking at her phone, and Kohli, in a serious expression, went viral on social media while fans dissected their expressions in memes. 

Apart from these two candid shots, there is one more celebrity whose presence sparked the controversy. Actress and influencer Avneet Kaur, who also attended the court and shared some of the photos from the event on her social media, has divided fans into two groups. Some are trolling Avneet for stalking Kohli, some users are comparing the situation to dramatic Bollywood scenes, such as the face-off in Ponniyin Selvan. Despite the trolling, some defended Kaur, calling her attendance a coincidence and criticizing the overblown speculation. Meanwhile, fans also rallied behind Sharma, who faced ageist comments about her appearance, pointing out double standards as Kohli’s look went unquestioned. 

The root cause of the Avneet Kaur and Virat Kohli controversy 

Her presence at the event, coinciding with Kohli and Sharma, caught the attention of netizens, who quickly linked it to a prior social media controversy. Earlier in May 2025, Kohli had accidentally liked and then unliked one of Kaur’s Instagram posts, which featured her in a bold outfit. Later, he clarified that it was mistakenly liked while he was clearing his feed, citing the whole incident as an “algorithm mistake,” but it became a hot topic for meme-makers.

On her Instagram Stories, Avneet Kaur dressed stylishly in a white mini dress, scarf, heels, and carrying a Hermes Birkin bag. While it’s unclear whether Kaur attended solo or with a group, rumors suggest she was accompanied by close friends or industry associates. Kaur’s appearance at Wimbledon wasn’t just a fashion statement; it marked a significant moment in her journey to establish herself beyond Indian entertainment. 

With a massive social media following of over 30 million on Instagram, she has been leveraging high-profile events to amplify her brand. Her recent international ventures, including attending Paris Fashion Week and collaborating with global influencers, reflect her ambition to transcend borders.

Despite the online trolling and defending, the trio’s presence highlighted their individual star power.
