‘Who is Cute? You?’ – Indian actress’ Instagram chat with Venkatesh Iyer grabs fans’ attention.

Kolkata Knight Riders opener Venkatesh Iyer has had a rather sedate start to the ongoing IPL season. But judging from his social media activity,  it seems that his personal life outside the field might be headed for some fun, interesting turns.

Over on a recent Instagram post of Telugu actress Priyanka Jawalkar, Venkatesh dropped a simple appreciation comment. ‘Cute’, Venkatesh commented on Priyanka’s post, which featured the actress sporting a yellow dress and smiling between some curtains under a spotlight.

Priyanka, meanwhile, chose to humor Venkatesh Iyer and replied, “Who? You?”. And it was this single comment that led to a whole barrage of fans on social media speculating about what could be going on between the two. Here are some of the most iconic social media reactions to Venkatesh’s and Priyanka’s Instagram banter:

29-year-old Priyanka happens to be a model, and has also worked in popular Telugu movies like Taxiwaala, Thimarrusu, and Gamanam. It will be interesting to see if and how she reacts to Venkatesh’s social media posts in the coming days.

Venkatesh, meanwhile, would be hoping to rediscover his form against the Mumbai Indians in KKR’s upcoming group stage match. The southpaw has managed to accumulate only 29 runs across 3 innings so far in the tournament.

As one of Kolkata’s retained players ahead of the mega auctions, the 27-year-old batting all-rounder will certainly have a lot of points to prove on the cricketing field; especially factoring that he could be in the fray to occupy the all-rounder’s slot in India’s T20 World Cup campaign later this year.
