Virat Kohli furious at invasion of privacy in his hotel room, says ‘NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism’
Virat Kohli was furious after a video of his hotel room went viral on social media platforms. The video showed Kohli’s hotel room and his personal belongings. Kohli posted the same video on Instagram and lashed out at the “fanaticism”.
He also requested the fans to respect people’s privacy and not treat them as “commodity for entertainment”.
“I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favourite players and get excited to meet them and I’ve always appreciated that,” Kohli wrote on Instagram.
“But this video here is appalling and it’s made me feel very paranoid about my privacy. If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all?? I’m NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment.”
Reacting to Kohli’s Instagram post, Australia star batter David Warner said: “This is ridiculous, totally unacceptable. Was this @crownperth.”
Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma also reacted on the Instagram post and said: “Have experienced few incidents, where fans have shown no compassion or grace in the past but this really is the worst thing. An absolute disgrace and violation of a human being and anyone who sees this and thinks celebrity ho! Toh deal karna padega should know that you are also part of the problem. Exercising some self control helps everyone. Also, if this is happening in your bedroom then where is the line.”
Kohli and the Indian team were in Perth recently for their T20 World Cup match against South Africa which they lost by five wickets on Sunday.
