Virat Kohli calls out leading English Newspaper for publishing fake news about him
Says 'Bachpan se jo akhbar Padha hai, wo bhi fake news chaapne lage ab'
Virat Kohli, one of the most-followed individuals on Instagram with an astounding fanbase of 257 million, has taken a proactive stance against the spread of misinformation related to him.
Renowned for his prolific batting skills, Kohli has also emerged as a vocal advocate against false news. In a recent development, he refuted claims of constructing a cricket pitch at his Alibaug farmhouse alongside his wife, actress Anushka Sharma.
In response to a report, Kohli shared a screenshot and expressed his dismay, stating, "Bachpan se jo akhbar Padha hai, wo bhi fake news chaapne lage ab" (Newspapers I've been reading since childhood have also started publishing fake news).
As reported by a prominent national daily on Monday, the power couple invested a substantial sum of Rs 19.24 crore to acquire an 8-acre plot of land in Alibaug with the intention of building a farmhouse. The report further revealed Virat's desire to incorporate a cricket pitch on the property, highlighting his keen involvement in every aspect of the construction process.
Earlier this week, media outlets buzzed with reports suggesting that Kohli commands an eye-popping fee of INR 11.45 crore per post on Instagram. Swiftly responding to these rumors, the former Indian captain took to his official social media account to quell the misinformation.
While expressing gratitude for his life's blessings, Kohli posted, "While I am grateful and indebted to all that I’ve received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is not true."
Having recently returned from the West Indies tour, where he was rested for the T20I series, Virat Kohli is now gearing up for the upcoming Asia Cup, scheduled to commence on August 30. The much-anticipated cricket tournament will kick off with a high-stakes clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2 in Pallekele.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
