An online user wrote, "Vajpayee sahab has passed away...yeh bhai sahab advertisement mein lage hai..ek tweet atal ji ke liye bhi banta hai Indian captain [This guy is busy with the advertisement. A tweet on Atalji won't hurt you Indian captain]." Meanwhile, another added: "Such a disgrace, now in his support people will say, his PR team posted it, etc. No matter what you say, I am disgusted right now Virat Kohli... You should have led with an example." A third one wrote: "You've time to promote these useless brands.... But not for our late PM??"
A few hours later, Kohli wrote: "A sombre day for us as we mourn the loss of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji and Legendary Indian Captain Ajit Wadekar sir. May your souls rest in peace. India and its millions will always remember you fondly."
