"Someone who has 5 times more followers than you lol.”
A video of Australian influencer Tayo Ricci posing next to Kiara Advani has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
Tayo, who attended a Tira beauty event wearing an Indian cricket team ODI jersey, shared a video of himself with the actress.
In the clip, he casually stands beside Kiara during a photo opportunity.
However, he annoyed Indian fans with his caption, which read:
“Anyone know who this girl is?”
The line sparked immediate backlash.
Though likely intended as a joke, the post triggered sharp reactions from fans, who were quick to defend the Bollywood star.
Many slammed Tayo’s apparent ignorance, as one wrote:
“We all know her, but who are you da?”
Another said: “I’m watching you for the first time in my life just because of her.”
A third added: “Someone who has 5 times more followers than you lol.”
Some stated that Tayo’s video only came into their Instagram feeds because it is Kiara-related content.
One said: “You came into my feed only because of her.”
Some were less than impressed by Tayo’s caption, who proceeded to mock Tayo.
One user wrote: “We know her but who are you??”
Lifestyle influencer Saloni Sehra commented: “Who the hell are you?”
Ridiculing Tayo, one person asked: “Wait a minute, who are you?”
Although many were annoyed by the caption, some saw the funny side of Tayo’s post.
One commented: “This is really good.”

In the comment section, Tayo Ricci tried to keep the humour going, replying:
“She follows me on Spotify.”
Tayo Ricci is a fitness and lifestyle influencer with over 6.7 million followers.
In 2024, he raised eyebrows when it was revealed that he had married his stepsister, former Neighbours actress turned OnlyFans star Scarlet Vas.
Best known for playing policewoman Mishti Sharma on the soap, Scarlet boosted her income with lingerie-clad pictures on the site.
The couple have since welcomed a baby girl.
Meanwhile, Kiara Advani is currently in the spotlight for her sizzling bikini look in the War 2 teaser.
Although she is only in the clip for a second or two, the brief moment was an impactful one.
Wearing a golden bikini, Kiara was seen walking amid a picturesque setting.
On social media, fans said she was the highlight of the teaser.
