Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun Tendulkar, is all set to marry entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok on March 5, with the wedding functions beginning on March 3. The main ceremony is expected to take place in the evening, followed by a dinner attended by close family members, friends and several prominent guests.
The celebrations have already started with traditional rituals at the Ambani family's bungalow in Jamnagar, where both families recently came together for a Ganesh puja. The intimate ceremony marked the formal start of the wedding festivities and set the tone for the upcoming events.
Arjun and Saaniya's relationship has grown away from the public eye over the years. Saaniya has long been a close friend of Arjun Tendulkar and was a familiar presence at family gatherings and holidays. Their friendship gradually turned into a relationship, and the couple got engaged in a private ceremony in August 2025 in the presence of their inner circle.
Arjun, who is carving out his own space in cricket as a left-arm pace-bowling all-rounder, first grabbed attention when he scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa, matching the milestone achieved by his father in his first first-class match. After playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, he is set to represent Lucknow Super Giants in the 2026 season, making a major turning point in his professional journey.
Saaniya, the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, comes from a well-known business family but has built an independent career for herself. A graduate from the London School of Economics, she is a qualified veterinary technician and the founder of a luxury pet spa and wellness venture in Mumbai.
The wedding is expected to bring together leading figures from politics, cricket and business. Invitations have been extended to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, Union Home Miniser Amit Shah and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. From the cricketing world, MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman are likely to be present, along with Arjun's teammates from Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians.
Despite the high-profile guest list, the celebrations are being planned as an elegant and close-knit affair, in keeping with the Tendulkar family's understated style.
