Malaika Arora’s recent appearance at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati with Kumar Sangakkara has intensified breakup rumors with Arjun Kapoor. The Bollywood actress was seen wearing the Rajasthan Royals’ jersey at the IPL 2025 match against the Chennai Super Kings, igniting social media discussions. A now-viral video shows her seated with Sangakkara, stirring speculation about their relationship.
Kumar Sangakkara, who previously served as the Rajasthan Royals’ head coach and is now the director of cricket, sat next to Malaika in the dugout. His IPL career includes stints with Punjab Kings, Deccan Chargers, and SunRisers Hyderabad. With Rahul Dravid replacing him as head coach before the 2025 season, Sangakkara’s presence at the game was notable. Malaika’s appearance with him coincided with ongoing rumors of her separation from Arjun Kapoor. Although Arjun has publicly declared his single status, Malaika remains silent on the matter.
The internet has been buzzing since the video surfaced, with netizens quick to share their thoughts. During the 2024 promotions of the film “Singham Again,” Arjun Kapoor responded to fans chanting Malaika’s name, asserting his single status with a smile, asking fans to relax. Malaika, when asked about Arjun’s comments, told ETimes, “I am a very private person, and there are certain aspects of my life that I don’t want to elaborate on. Whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative. It has been a very trying year for various reasons, and I think it’s time for all of us to move on. I am ready for the new year and a fresh start in my life.”
Amid the off-field drama, the Chennai Super Kings continue their losing streak. They fell short by 6 runs against the Rajasthan Royals despite MS Dhoni’s efforts at number 7, unable to chase a target of 183. The clash marked another chapter in IPL drama, with Arjun Kapoor’s reaction to Malaika’s appearance adding an unexpected twist to the ongoing cricket season narratives.
