India captain Virat Kohli’s tweet on Diwali has divided netizens after it didn’t go well with a section of Twitter users. Kohli had posted that he will be sharing personal tips with his fans on how to make the festival of light special for them this year.
Kohli shared his profile on social media platform Pinterest and wrote, “Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing a series of my personal tips for celebrating a meaningful Diwali with loved ones and family.
“Stay tuned by following my Pinterest profile ‘viratkohli’- link in bio,” the tweet read along with a video featuring the India skipper.
In this video, Kohli said, “It’s been a tough year for all of us all around the world but especially in India with wave 2 hitting hard in 2021. As we get ready for Diwali this festive season, I’ll be sharing some of my tips for you to celebrate with loved ones and family. Stay tuned on Pinterest and pass the light.”

While a lot of Twitterati felt Kohli didn’t have to share how to celebrate Diwali, the other section of Twitter users, which includes the cricket fans, clarified he hasn’t disrespected the festival at all.
Here are the mixed reactions to the post:
He is talking about sharing tips. Maan'na hai ya nhi that's up to you. Virat is not forcing anyone. Stop being so hard on him. Stop creating drama out of nothing 🙂

When did he say that he will teach you how to celebrate Diwali!!He just said he would share some "Tips"..It depends on you whether you will accept his tips or not!!This is not mandatory to celebrate according to his tips!!You guys just need an excuse to bash Virat & Anushka..

Thanks King. Much needed. All these years we were totally confused. My neighbour brought gulal last Diwali & his kids were dancing on jingle bells. Then I finally decided to register a paid course on Byju's "How to celebrate meaningful Diwali" which I'd cancel now.

We don't need to learn how to celebrate Diwali from you.
If possible stay away from bollwood and its PR team otherwise you will neither remain a cricketer nor an actor.
Its a friendly advice please take it.— Anju Chopra 🇮🇳 (@anjuchopra73) October 17, 2021
Why is he getting so much hatred. He is just concerned about the environment!!!People in india are so egoistic.This man is just giving opinions on celebrating diwali. He is not forcing anybody to do that.I think we should take this more open minded rather than criticizing him😊.

Request you not to teach us how to celebrate "a meaningful Diwali with loved ones and family".
We've all been doing it for years – rather decades – so your experience on that count, would be a lot less than ours.
Hence, spare us any advise or moralizing please. 🙏#Diwali2021— Murli Menon (@MurliMenon6) October 17, 2021
