Controversies And Viral Moments

Namaste With Tom Cruise

To begin with, Avneet Kaur's interactions with Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise was a mega moment for the actress. Not only did she visit the film sets, but she also attended the film's premiere.

 Avneet met Tom Cruise on the sets of his upcoming film Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. 

Sharing the photos, Avneet Kaur had written, "I'm still pinching myself! I had the incredible opportunity to visit the set of the next #MissionImpossible film, starring the one and only Tom Cruise! Witnessing the filmmaking magic firsthand was awe-inspiring. Tom's dedication to performing real, practical stunts continues to raise the bar. Can't wait to share more about my experience! Stay tuned for updates closer to the release date, May 23, 2025!" 

Just ahead of the release of  Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning on May 17, 2025, Avneet Kaur had shared an adorable post with Tom Cruise doing Namaste.

Avneet captioned the post, "Namaste mere aur Mr Cruise ki taraf se poore India ko. Great to see you again @tomcruise @missionimpossible."

Her pictures with the action star were widely circulated, generating a significant online buzz for her on social media, where she enjoys an immense fan following.

The Tiku Weds Sheru Backlash

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur were met with severe backlash on their kissing scene in Tiku Weds Sheru. A 49-year-old (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) kissing a 21-year-old (Avneet Kaur), even if it's for the plot of the film, did not sit well with the Internet, and there were mixed reactions.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui had defended the controversy, telling India Today, "Romance is ageless. The problem is that the young men have no romance left. We are from the times when romance was something else. We would be in love and be in 'ishq' for years. Today, Shah Rukh Khan continues to do romantic roles because the young generation is 'nalli' (useless). They don't know romance."

Avneet Kaur made no comments.

The Virat Kohli Controversy

It all started with a like on an Instagram post, and all hell broke loose.

The cricketer had liked and then disliked Avneet Kaur's Instagram post where she was seen wearing a green crop top with a printed wrap skirt.

Hawk-eyed Internet users saw the activity and immediately started populating social media with comments like, "Kohli saab, what is this behaviour?"

Virat Kohli had later clarified the issue by sharing a social media post which read, "I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding."

Wimbledon Row

An all-new controversy again blew up as Avneet Kaur was seen attending Wimbledon 2025 this Monday, as were Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.

The Internet was quick to notice as Virat Kohli and Avneet Kaur shared different posts on social media, from the same event.

Comments like, "If Avneet Kaur had clicked a picture with Virat at Wimbledon the other day, it would have broken the internet" and "This was the reason why Virat Kohli looked off-mood at Wimbledon. Avneet Kaur was also there", flooded the internet.
