On Sunday, Sara was spotted at the Wankhede Stadium, cheering for the Mumbai Indians during their Indian Premier League 2026 clash. She was dressed in a Mumbai Indians T-shirt, and arrived at the venue with her parents – father Raj Arjun and her mother Sanya Arjun to the match. After soaking in the match-day excitement, she was later seen exiting the stadium once the game concluded.
As Sara Arjun, 20, made her way out of the stadium, a swarm of fans closed in, asking for selfies in the wake of Dhurandhar 2’s massive success. Following which, her parents, especially her father, quickly came to her rescue, shielding her from the fans and getting her into the car.
Several videos capturing the chaotic scene outside the venue have surfaced on social media. The clips show Sara being mobbed by her fans when she was leaving after the Mumbai Indians’ win. While many tried to click selfies with her, her protective father stepped in and escorted her out of the frenzy.
Social media users were amazed to see how the father and daughter held the situation.
“She’s sweet wants to interact with her fans and Dad on the other hand being protective . Which is normal,” one wrote, with another sharing, “She is so innocent.”
On Sunday, Hardik’s Mumbai Indians put an end to one of the IPL’s oddest long-running quirks. By beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians registered their first opening-match win of an IPL season since April 4, 2012, when they had beaten Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets.
