For millions of cricket fans, Sachin Tendulkar is more than a sporting icon—he is a symbol of grace and legacy. This week, that legacy stepped into a new chapter as the Tendulkar family personally delivered wedding invitations for Arjun Tendulkar’s upcoming marriage to Saaniya Chandok. What followed was a series of high-profile meetings that blended cricket, politics, and family celebration in the most heartfelt way.
The Master Blaster, along with wife Anjali, daughter Sara, son Arjun, and bride-to-be Saaniya, visited India’s top leadership to seek blessings ahead of the March 2026 celebrations.

On February 10, the Tendulkar family visited Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence. Sachin Tendulkar shared pictures from the meeting on social media, writing:
“We were honoured to invite Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji to Arjun and Saaniya’s wedding. Thank you, Modi ji, for your blessings and thoughtful advice for the young couple.”
The photos showed Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya standing beside PM Modi, receiving his blessings for their upcoming union. What stood out was how the couple appeared comfortable and grounded despite the significance of the occasion.
Visit To Rashtrapati Bhawan
Last February, Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji graciously hosted us at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The Tendulkar and Ghai families also made their way to Rashtrapati Bhavan to meet President Droupadi Murmu. Sachin recalled their previous visit to the presidential residence in February 2024 and expressed gratitude for the President’s warmth.
The families personally handed over the wedding invitation and received blessings for Arjun and Saaniya’s new journey together.

In a gesture that crossed political lines, the Tendulkar family also invited the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi. Sachin posted:
“Our family had the opportunity to meet Shri Rahul Gandhi ji and invite him to Arjun and Saaniya’s wedding.”
This inclusive approach reflected the family’s intent to share their joy beyond political boundaries.
Wedding Details Of Arjun Tendulkar And Saaniya Chandok
Multiple reports confirm that Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandok will tie the knot on March 5, 2026. The wedding festivities are expected to begin on March 3, with celebrations taking place in Mumbai.
Unlike typical celebrity weddings, this one will reportedly be an intimate affair with only close family and friends on the guest list.
The couple got engaged in August 2025 during a private ceremony. The engagement became public knowledge only after Sachin confirmed it himself during a Reddit AMA session. When a fan asked directly about Arjun’s engagement after photos surfaced online, Sachin replied warmly:
“Yes, absolutely! We are all very excited about the new phase of Arjun’s life.”
Who Is Saaniya Chandok?
Saaniya Chandok comes from the influential Ghai family of Mumbai. She is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, chairman of the Graviss Group, which owns hospitality ventures including the InterContinental Hotel and food brands like Brooklyn Creamery ice cream.
However, Saaniya has chosen to build her own path. She is a qualified veterinary technician and the founder of Mr Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP in Mumbai, a luxury pet care brand she launched in 2022. The business taps into India’s rapidly growing pet care industry, which has been expanding at over 15% annually.
According to reports, Graviss Food Solutions recorded revenue of over ₹600 crore in FY24, highlighting the scale of her family’s business empire. Yet Saaniya opted for entrepreneurship rather than joining the family conglomerate.
She has been close to the Tendulkar family for years, particularly Sara Tendulkar, before her relationship with Arjun Tendulkar developed.
Arjun Tendulkar’s Cricket Journey
At 26, Arjun Tendulkar is carving his own path in cricket, fully aware of the enormous shadow cast by his father’s name. The left-arm pacer plays domestic cricket for Goa and was recently traded from the Mumbai Indians to the Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2026 at ₹30 lakh.
His First-Class record shows promise: 52 wickets in 24 matches and 685 runs in 33 innings, including a century and two half-centuries. He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa in 2022, scoring a century in his maiden first-class match.
In List A cricket, he has taken 26 wickets in 24 games while adding 35 scalps in 29 T20 matches.
His IPL journey has been slower. Since 2021, he has played just five matches, picking up three wickets at an economy rate of 9.36. However, he remains focused on improving his game and building his own identity beyond comparisons.
Conclusion
Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandok’s wedding is not just a celebration of two individuals—it marks a new chapter for one of India’s most admired sporting families. From high-profile blessings in Delhi to an intimate ceremony planned in Mumbai, the occasion reflects both humility and grandeur. As the Tendulkar family prepares for March 2026, fans across the country are witnessing a legacy evolve from cricketing excellence to cherished family milestones.
