Did Malaika Arora Attend Rajasthan Royals latest IPL match amid rumours of dating Kumar Sangakkara?

Malaika Arora, who made waves during Rajasthan Royals' earlier IPL 2025 fixture in Guwahati, was noticeably absent from the stands as the Royals faced Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, Punjab.

Despite buzz that she might attend another RR clash, the Bollywood diva was nowhere to be seen as speculation around her connection with Kumar Sangakkara continues to swirl.

Her no-show was in stark contrast to PBKS co-owner and fellow Bollywood star Preity Zinta, who was seen enthusiastically supporting her team from the VIP stand, adding star power to the evening's action.

Malaika had previously caused a stir when she appeared in full Rajasthan Royals spirit at the Guwahati stadium, cheering the team during their thrilling win over Chennai Super Kings. Dressed in the team's jersey and spotted in close proximity to Sangakkara, the Royals' Director of Cricket, she became the centre of a social media frenzy. "Love cannot be hidden," quipped one fan online, while another said the chemistry between the two seemed "too obvious to ignore."

Though there's been no official word or confirmation from either party, the buzz hasn't died down. Her previous appearance alongside Sangakkara has fuelled talk of a possible off-field equation-something fans and gossip mills have been quick to latch onto.

But as RR took on PBKS at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur, the expected "glamour spotting" didn't materialize. Malaika's absence was noted by fans, some of whom had tuned in hoping for a repeat of her dazzling Guwahati outing.

Meanwhile, Preity Zinta's presence brought its own charm to the occasion. A seasoned IPL face and passionate team owner, Zinta was seen applauding key moments and energizing the crowd from the front row, reaffirming her enduring bond with the tournament and her franchise.

As the season unfolds, the mix of cricket and celebrity continues to add flair to the IPL. While fans might have missed Malaika in Punjab, they'll be watching future RR games closely, hoping to spot the Bollywood icon again-and maybe, just maybe, catch another spark between her and Sangakkara.
