Sara Tendulkar Spotted in Goa; Netizens Divided Over Purported ‘Beer Bottle’

December 31, 2025 — Sara Tendulkar, daughter of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has found herself at the center of a social media storm this New Year’s Eve. A video purportedly showing the 28-year-old strolling through the streets of Goa while holding what appears to be a beer bottle has gone viral across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

The Incident

The “stranger-taken” video shows Sara dressed in a red floral short dress, enjoying a casual walk with three friends. The clip, which surfaced on Wednesday, December 31, has sparked a massive debate due to the visibility of a glass bottle in her hand—identified by some netizens as a Budweiser.

Sara is currently in Goa to celebrate the year-end holidays. While she has shared glimpses of her vacation on her official Instagram handle—including her “beach look” and family time with her mother, Anjali Tendulkar—the specific video causing the stir was captured by a bystander.

Netizens React: Moral Policing vs. Personal Liberty

The video has triggered a wave of “mixed reactions” from the public, primarily falling into two camps:

• The Critics: Some users criticized the star kid, citing her father’s long-standing professional stance against endorsing alcohol brands. Comments ranged from “Sachin never promoted tobacco or alcohol, but his daughter is seen like this” to expressions of disappointment regarding her “innocent” public image.
• The Supporters: A larger section of the internet quickly came to her defense. Supporters argued that as a 28-year-old adult, Sara has every right to enjoy her vacation as she pleases. Common refrains included “Live and let live” and “She is an adult, not a kid; her father’s career choices shouldn’t dictate her personal life.”

Context: A Year of Travel

This Goa trip follows a series of high-profile travels for Sara in late 2025. Just weeks ago, she was spotted in Varanasi, sharing photos of herself enjoying local street food, tiranga barfi, and shopping for Banarasi sarees. Her brother, Arjun Tendulkar, is also reportedly in Goa, where he plays domestic cricket for the state team, adding a family element to her visit.

Fact Check & Authenticity

While the video is undeniably viral, several news outlets have noted that the “authenticity and exact context” of the clip remain unverified by Sara’s team. Neither Sara nor the Tendulkar family has issued an official statement regarding the video or the subsequent trolling.
