‘Wherever I Sit, the Cameraman Finds Me’ – Kavya Maran Reacts to Her Viral IPL Memes

Bollywood Mascot: In the glitz and thrill of the Indian Premier League (IPL), one face that never fails to trend alongside the matches is that of Kavya Maran, owner of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team. Often hailed as the “IPL Queen” by fans online, Kavya’s match-day appearances have sparked countless memes, thanks to her expressive celebrations and visible passion for her team.

Now, for the first time, Kavya has broken her silence on the countless memes and camera moments that flood social media every time SRH plays.

In a recent interview with Fortune India, Kavya said with a laugh, ‘These are my genuine emotions that people see on screen. In Hyderabad, I have a fixed place to sit, but even when I travel to places like Ahmedabad or Chennai and sit far away in a box, the cameraman somehow still manages to find me. So, now I understand how those memes get created.’

Her candid and humorous reaction is already winning the internet again.

A Star Beyond the Cricket Pitch

Kavya Maran first caught nationwide attention during the 2023 IPL auction, where she represented SRH with confidence and poise. Since then, she’s become a regular feature at matches, passionately cheering from the stands, often stealing the limelight even more than the on-field action.

Daughter of media mogul Kalanithi Maran, who owns the Sun TV Network, and niece of politician Dayanidhi Maran, Kavya is one of India’s youngest businesswomen with a growing fanbase and media appeal. According to reports, her estimated net worth is around ₹409 crore.

While she prefers to keep a low public profile, her enthusiastic support for SRH has made her a crowd favorite. From celebrating boundaries to reacting to missed chances, every expression becomes meme-worthy.

As the IPL fever continues to grip the nation, one thing is clear — whether or not SRH lifts the trophy, Kavya Maran has already won the internet’s heart.
