The lives of celebrities are not always glam and grand. With all the name and fame, the one thing that costs them a lot is their privacy. Simple things like stepping outside their houses can attract paparazzi and fans. And when that celebrity is Virat Kohli, cricket fans can certainly go crazy. It is acceptable to a point to idolise someone and meet them for a photo or maybe an autograph, but invading their privacy and running around them all the time is not at all appreciated. The recent behaviour of some fans has made Virat Kohli very paranoid about his privacy.

Sharing on Instagram, he captioned, ‘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.

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.’

Virat’s friends, colleagues, fans, and followers are commenting about this disgraceful behaviour and breach of his privacy. Some are even questioning the hospitality management of Australia.
The Hotel Authorities Have Apologised Post This Incident
The hotel where the Indian cricket team stayed was Australia’s Crown Perth. After Virat shared the video on social media, the authorities of Hotel Perth took to their social media to talk about it and apologised as well. They took the necessary steps to avoid such incidents in the future,
