JAMNAGAR — The pre-wedding celebrations for Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok have officially commenced with a grand ceremony at the Ambani family’s residence in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The high-profile event, hosted by Mukesh and Nita Ambani, brought together the Tendulkar and Chandhok families for a traditional Ganesha Puja to invoke blessings for the couple. The atmosphere was one of deep cultural tradition and emotional significance, marking the beginning of the final countdown to their wedding scheduled for early next month.
During the festivities, legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared a poignant and rare emotional moment while speaking about his son’s new chapter. Reflecting on the transition of life, the “Master Blaster” remarked that a parent truly realizes their son has grown up the moment he introduces a partner to the family. He expressed immense pride in Arjun for finding a life partner who shares such a deep, mutual love, noting that the couple appears “madly in love” with each other. His heartfelt words resonated with the gathered guests, capturing the sentiment of a father witnessing his son embark on a lifelong partnership.
Arjun Tendulkar, a promising left-arm pacer who plays for Goa in domestic cricket and the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, got engaged to Saaniya Chandhok in a private ceremony in August 2025. Saaniya is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, the prominent Chairman of the Graviss Group, a powerhouse in India’s hospitality and food industries. Beyond her family’s illustrious business legacy, Saaniya is an entrepreneur in her own right and has been a close friend of Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar, for several years.
Nita Ambani also delivered a warm welcoming speech, recalling how she had watched Arjun grow from a young boy at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School to a mature athlete ready for marriage. She praised Saaniya for her “positive energy” and officially welcomed her into their extended family circle. The Jamnagar celebrations serve as a precursor to the main wedding ceremony, which is slated to take place in Mumbai on March 5, 2026. The upcoming nuptials are expected to be attended by a host of dignitaries, including top cricketers, business icons, and political leaders.
