activate() method inside Menu widget class of Tkinter

I am facing this issue where whenever I try to trigger the activate() method by clicking the command inside the Menu widget, I am not able to see the method in action because by default the Menu widget will close automatically when I click any of its command.

Here is my code:

import tkinter as tk

def on_open():
    print("Stop1")
    file_menu.activate(1)  # Automatically highlight the 'Save' option
    print("Stop2")

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x200")

menu_bar = tk.Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu_bar)

file_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file_menu)

file_menu.add_command(label="Open", command=on_open)
file_menu.add_command(label="Save", command=lambda: print("Save selected"))
file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)

root.mainloop()

Does anyone has any idea how to effectively use the activate() of Menu widget class without closing the Menu widget?
