BENGALURU: A German-South African model has claimed that she was offered money to make false allegations against former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and damage his public image. The revelation was made by social media influencer and model LizLaz, who said she rejected the proposal.
LizLaz, who is known to be a strong admirer of Kohli, made the statement during an interview. She alleged that certain media individuals approached her with an offer to publicly accuse Kohli of things he had never done in exchange for money.
