EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Abhijeet Sawant on Rahul Vaidya accusing Virat Kohli of blocking him; 'He'll do something to get noticed'
Rahul Vaidya claimed that Virat Kohli blocked him on Instagram—a move that hasn’t sat well with the singer.
Rahul Vaidya, who is currently seen on the cooking reality show Laughter Chefs, has found himself in the news for his remarks about Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. The singer accused the former Indian cricket team captain of blocking him on Instagram. This didn’t sit well with King Kohli’s massive fanbase, and Vaidya received severe backlash for his comments.
Abhijeet Sawant, who competed against Rahul in the singing reality show Indian Idol, shared his perspective on the controversy during an exclusive podcast with Hindi Rush.
The Indian Idol winner clarified that he isn’t friends with Rahul Vaidya. Speaking about the controversy, he said that the Madhanya singer has a habit of doing something unusual to get noticed. “He is somebody, jaise maine kaha (like I said), unnoticed; he will never go unnoticed (laughs). So, somebody who has the habit of not going unnoticed will try to do something to get noticed.”

When asked further whether, in the race to stay relevant, it made sense to pick a fight with Virat Kohli’s loyal fanbase—given how tough it is to go up against them and the unpredictable repercussions—Abhijeet responded:
"Ho toh sakta hai aur mujhe relevant bhi nahi lagti vo cheez (Possibly, and I don't even find it relevant). Uska koi matlab nahi hai (There is no meaning to it). Chalo theek hai, agar koi sach mein galat karte hue dikha hai aapko, phir vo kitna bhi bada ho, toh aap bol do (Fine, if someone is genuinely doing something wrong, no matter how big they are, then you should speak up).”
He added, “Then you are making a mark, but ye cheez kyun ho rahi hai (why is this even happening?), vohi hai na ki iska koi matlab nahi hai (that's the thing—this has no meaning), baaki aur koi nahi bol raha hai na (nobody else is even talking about it)."
For those unaware, some time ago, a post by Avneet Kaur went viral after Virat Kohli liked it. Later, the cricketer clarified that it was an algorithm glitch. Following this, Rahul Vaidya went live on Instagram, joking that Kohli blocking him was probably an algorithm glitch as well.
So far, Virat Kohli has not responded to Rahul Vaidya’s comments.
