A photograph of actress Malaika Arora watching the Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings match at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati has ignited widespread speculation online. Seated alongside Kumar Sangakkara, the former Sri Lankan cricketer and ex-head coach of Rajasthan Royals, who now serves as the team’s director of cricket, Arora’s presence in the Royals’ dugout led to a flurry of social media reactions.
Several screenshots and clips from the match, showing Arora donning a Rajasthan Royals jersey, quickly went viral. Online users questioned her connection to the team, with some even speculating about a possible relationship with Sangakkara. One social media user queried why the actress was seated in the dugout, while another suggested there might be something beyond a professional association between the two.
A viral video further fueled curiosity, prompting discussions about the nature of their interaction. However, sources close to the actress dismissed the speculation, calling it baseless. A person familiar with the matter stated that simply sitting next to someone does not imply a romantic relationship, urging people to refrain from drawing unfounded conclusions.
Despite the online chatter, no official statement has been made regarding Arora’s involvement with the team. Rajasthan Royals have yet to comment on her presence at the match, and neither Arora nor Sangakkara have addressed the speculation.
With social media often amplifying conjecture, the incident highlights how celebrity sightings in unexpected settings can quickly turn into viral discussions, even in the absence of any confirmed connection.
