Absolute invasion of privacy: Virat Kohli after 'fan' shares video of his hotel room online

| @indiablooms | Oct 31, 2022, at 06:23 pm

India's star cricketer Virat Kohli Monday fumed at a 'fan' who had allegedly filmed the batter's hotel room and shared it online.

The 'fan' had entered Kohli's room, recorded it and posted it online.

Angered by the breach of privacy, Kohli wrote on Instagram, "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. 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."

Commenting on Kohli's post, Australian star batsman David Warner commented, "This is ridiculous, totally unacceptable. Was this @crownperth."

The incident happened in Australia's Perth where Team India played their last match in the T20 World Cup against South Africa Sunday.

Kohli has been in supreme form in the ongoing World Cup where he slammed unbeaten 82 and unbeaten 62 against Pakistan and Netherlands respectively.
