MUMBAI — Arjun Tendulkar, professional cricketer and son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, exchanged vows with his long-time partner and entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok in a magnificent ceremony at the St Regis, Mumbai, on March 5, 2026. The high-profile union brought together the worlds of elite sport, hospitality, and cinema, marking one of the most significant social events of the year. The couple was introduced through Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar, and they have shared a steady bond for several years before deciding to take the next step in their relationship.
Saaniya Chandhok is an accomplished professional in her own right, holding a degree in Business Management from the London School of Economics and serving as a veterinary technician. She is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, the chairman of Graviss Hospitality Limited, and has successfully founded her own premium pet grooming venture, Mr Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP. Interestingly, observers have noted that Saaniya is approximately one year older than Arjun, a detail that mirrors the age gap between Arjun’s parents, Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar.
The guest list for the evening read like a hall of fame for Indian cricket. Former captain MS Dhoni arrived with his wife Sakshi, while current India head coach Gautam Gambhir attended alongside his wife Natasha Jain. Other cricketing greats in attendance included Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, Anil Kumble, and Ravi Shastri. Close family friends and former teammates such as Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Virender Sehwag were also present to celebrate the occasion. The presence of BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla and ICC Chairman Jay Shah further underscored the significance of the event within the cricketing fraternity.
Beyond the sporting world, the wedding saw a significant turnout from the film and business sectors. Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan led the cinematic delegation, accompanied by Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan were also spotted among the attendees. The Ambani family, including Mukesh and Nita Ambani, were prominently involved in the celebrations, reflecting their deep-rooted ties with the Tendulkar family. The evening featured soul-stirring musical performances by Shankar Mahadevan and Harshdeep Kaur, culminating in a traditional Maharashtrian sit-down dinner.
