Hi there ADITYA BANGER,
It sounds like you may be receiving pop-ups after downloading a file on your iPhone.

For all practical purposes your phone cannot be infected by a virus or any other malware. There are a few exceptions, but they apply primarily to a few individuals who are well known on the world stage, such as political leaders, activists and journalists in countries with repressive governments, international criminals, terrorists, etc.

No you cannot get infected playing an mkv file.
