Actor Sonal Chauhan has become the surprise star of recent Mumbai Indians matches for her appearances in the stands. The 37-year-old actor, whose presence at Wankhede Stadium has set social media buzzing, admits she never expected the attention to explode the way it has.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor said, “It was completely unexpected. I was just there to watch the match. I didn’t even realize I was on TV until people started sending me screenshots and memes afterward. The whole thing has just blown up—it’s a pleasant surprise, honestly.”
A self-proclaimed die-hard Mumbai Indians fan, Sonal was especially excited to witness Rohit Sharma’s return to form live from the stands.
