Virat Kohli furious over fan for invasion of privacy.

Cricket
Virat Kohli on Monday shares a video, titled "Inside King Kohli's
room", on his Instagram handle where it can be seen that an unknown person
is taking a tour of his hotel room showing around the Cricketer's personal
stuff and thereby invading his privacy.
Kohli
is appalled at this act and took to his Instagram and wrote, "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," he further added.
His wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma also reposted the video on her Instagram story and wrote she too has gone through similar experiences where "fans have shown no compassion or grace."
Australian
opener David Warner also expressed anger and commented on Kohli's post,
"This is ridiculous, totally unacceptable. Was this @crownperth?."
"This
is an absolute disgrace and violation of a human being," the actor writes
in her story.
This
comes after India's T20 World Cup 2022 match against South Africa where India
lost to South Africa by five wickets at Optus Stadium, Australia on Sunday.
The
former skipper was staying at Hotel Crown Towers Perth and after the cricketer
expressed his anger over the incident, the Hotel fired an employee in
connection with the incident.
The
Crown Towers, in return, have released an official statement regarding the same
on Monday saying that an investigation is being conducted and the individual
involved has been stood and removed from the Crown account.
"We
are aware of an incident involving a contractor and the privacy of a guest at
Crown Perth. The safety and privacy of our guests is our number one priority,
and we are incredibly disappointed this incident has occurred. We unreservedly
apologise to the guest involved and will continue to take the necessary steps
to ensure this remains an isolated incident," stated the release.
"We
have zero tolerance for this behaviour, and it falls well below the standards
we set for our team members and contractors. Crown took immediate steps to
rectify the issue, including launching an investigation, standing down the
individuals involved and removing them from the Crown account. The original
video was also swiftly removed from the social media platform. We are also
cooperating with the Indian Cricket team and the International Cricket Council
to convey our apologies and will continue to work with them as we progress our
investigation," the release further stated.
Kohli
and the rest of the Indian team left Perth for Adelaide on Monday where they
will playing the next match against Bangladesh.
