Team India’s star player Virat Kohli has lashed out after he posted a video of his hotel room where his privacy was breached. The Indian player posted an Instagram post where he wrote about his privacy breach and dully criticised the manner of the act in which someone entered his hotel room in Perth. The incident took place after India suffered a last-over defeat against South Africa on Sunday at the Optus Stadium.
“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,” wrote Virat in his Instagram post.
An unknown fan entered Virat’s room in Perth and was seen shooting a video where and would later post it on social media with the caption, “King Kohli’s Hotel Room.” In the video, the entire room was showcased where his clothing, footwear, and other stuff were shown. The video also showcased the cosmetics that he uses on regular basis.
The video later went viral on the internet and reached Virat who found it a serious breach of his privacy. He would later post the same video on his Instagram, while condemning the act. Australia player David Warner also commented on the post and called it 'Ridiculous,'
