Somebody invaded Virat Kohli’s hotel room in Perth and released video of his clothes and things on social media, accusing him of a “extreme invasion of privacy.”
The former India captain was outraged by the acts of the “fans” and demanded that his privacy be respected.
“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,” said Kohli.
“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.”
The footage, which shows Kohli’s bags, wardrobe, restroom, and clothes, was “ridiculous” and “totally unacceptable”..
South Africa defeated India in their Super 12 encounter at Perth Stadium on Sunday.
