After Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia blames Instagram algorithm for ‘liking’ pages ‘on its own’

Reportedly, Tamannaah liked an Instagram reel that features Deepika Padukone and which highlighted issues such as the gender pay gap, unprofessional work environments, and misogyny.

Mumbai: Actor Tamannaah Bhatia took to her Instagram Story to post about how the social media platform apparently “likes” pages “on its own”. “Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own, cause random people are making it news and I have work to do,” Tamannaah said on Wednesday while posting a story with a selfie of herself.


Reportedly, Tamannaah liked an Instagram reel that features Deepika Padukone and which highlighted issues such as the gender pay gap, unprofessional work environments, and misogyny.

The ‘Odela 2’ actor’s post comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding actor Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga over the movie ‘Spirit’.

Previously, Virat Kohli found himself at the centre of online chatter after several users noticed that his verified Instagram account had liked a post from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur.

The star cricketer later took to his Instagram Story to share a short note to clear the air. In the post, Kohli, without naming anyone, stated that the ‘like’ seemed to be a mistake caused by the “app’s algorithm” while he was “clearing his feed.”

“I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding,” read his Instagram Story.
