Who Is Liz Laz? The German Model Whose Picture Virat Kohli Liked Because Of 'Algorithm'
Advait Vaidya is a well-known name in the Indian fashion and entertainment space, having worked with several top models and celebrities, and regularly sharing glimpses from his shoots on social media.
However, it was one of his recent photographs featuring relatively lesser-known German model Liz Laz that unexpectedly grabbed widespread attention online. The buzz began after Virat Kohli liked the post, a detail quickly picked up by eagle-eyed social media users.
What followed was a flood of memes and jokes across platforms, turning a simple Instagram interaction into a viral talking point.
Advait Vaidya and Liz Laz had originally shared the photo together on Instagram back in January, where it garnered thousands of likes. Liz had captioned it, “Some golden hour shots.”
However, the post resurfaced on Thursday after Advait noticed that Virat Kohli had liked it. The photographer quickly shared a screenshot of the notification on his Instagram Stories, followed by a video reacting to the moment.
Expressing his surprise, he wrote, “How does one react to this.. When the Goat, @virat.kohli .. Likes your Post.. me and @lizlaz_tv are still rubbing our eyes to check if it's actually happening.. haha.. Thank you Goat.”
Liz Laz describes herself as a ‘Vlogger, Foodie and Singer’ on her Instagram profile. Based in Germany, she has shared that she is of mixed heritage, part South African and part German, and also holds a Master’s degree in Psychology.
With close to half a million followers on social media, Liz has steadily built a strong online presence. She is also known to frequently collaborate with Indian artists and photographers, further expanding her reach within the fashion and entertainment space.
Fans, including celebrities like Yuzvendra Chahal, have been spamming Liz Laz's comment section with ‘algorithm’ and Virat Kohli’s name.
