Amid the resounding success of Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2, actor Sara Arjun took some time off to watch the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match between the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. However, her visit turned chaotic when she was mobbed by fans while leaving the venue, prompting her father, actor Raj Arjun, to step in and act as her bodyguard to protect her.

On Sunday, Sara was seen at Wankhede Stadium, supporting the Mumbai Indians in their 2026 Indian Premier League match. She wore a Mumbai Indians T-shirt and attended the game with her parents, father Raj Arjun and mother Sanya Arjun. After enjoying the match-day atmosphere, she was later spotted leaving the stadium once the game ended.
As 20-year-old Sara Arjun stepped out of the stadium, she was immediately surrounded by a crowd of fans requesting selfies after the huge success of Dhurandhar 2. Her parents, particularly her father, swiftly intervened, protecting her from the crowd and escorting her into the car.
Multiple videos of the chaotic scene outside the venue have emerged on social media. The footage shows Sara being surrounded by fans as she was leaving following the Mumbai Indians’ victory. As many attempted to take selfies with her, her protective father intervened and guided her safely out of the commotion.
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.
Sara Arjun, daughter of actor Raj Arjun, is currently receiving widespread appreciation for her role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. She began her acting career before turning six and first earned recognition for her performance in Deiva Thirumagal. As a child artist, she went on to appear in films such as Saivam, Ek Thi Daayan, Jai Ho, and Jazbaa. She recently made her debut as a leading lady in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar and has impressed audiences with her performance.
Dhurandhar 2 is the follow-up to the spy-action thriller Dhurandhar, which hit theatres in December 2025 and earned over ₹1300 crore globally.
