Ever since Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor confirmed that they’re no longer a couple, social media has gone wild about the diva’s personal life. She was a special guest at the Chennai Super Kings Vs Rajasthan Royals match on Sunday. Malaika Arora was seen in the dug-out with former Sri Lanka captain, the legendary Kumar Sangakkara. Social media had a field time seeing the two stars together. Malaika Arora, 51, is an absolute diva while Kumar Sangakkara, 47 is also known for his winsome personality. Handsome, well-spoken and an absolute gentleman, he was always loved by the public for his off-screen persona.

Netizens who saw them together began to wonder if they were dating. This is quite hilarious, to be honest. Cricket fans know that Kumar Sangakkara has been happily married to Yehali since decades, and they have two kids. Fans said this was not in good taste. A fan wrote, “Sanga…is a gem do not post such things,” while another person commented, “He is happily married to Yehali Sangakkara. Don't spread this nonsense. He has two kids. Just because she is seated next to him, don't post such things.” Some days back, she was linked to fashion editor Rahul Vijay who worked with GQ.

But her presence did spark curiosity with people asking if Malaika and Kumar were indeed good friends, or were they dating. Some said they looked really good together. In fact, some netizens went to the extent of saying that Kumar Sangakkara looks like a slightly older version of her former boyfriend, Arjun Kapoor with that spiked hair, beard and chiselled jaw.

Malaika Arora has been busy with her TV show appearances and entrepreneurial ventures. She has opened a restaurant, Scarlet House along with her son, Arhaan. Even Kumar Sangakkkara is a restauranteur with his franchise Ministry Of Crab being well-loved for its seafood delicacies.
