Sachin Tendulkar, the cricket legend, prepares his son, Arjun Tendulkar, to marry his fiancée, Saaniya Chandhok, and the Tendulkar household is in palpable excitement. Their wedding, planned for March 5, 2026, in Mumbai, has already grown into one of the most talked‑about celebrity events of the year. Invitations from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to President Droupadi Murmu to Rahul Gandhi make this a high‑profile celebration. But who is Saaniya Chandhok, the woman entering into India’s most famous cricketing family?
Saaniya Chandhok is the longtime partner of Arjun Tendulkar. They formally engaged in August 2025 quietly, and the couple never got picked up in media attention. Since that time, she has gradually made her way into the public consciousness as Sachin Tendulkar’s future daughter‑in‑law. Although she has a relatively private career, she has a close personal connection with Arjun and the Tendulkar family.
Saaniya also comes from a respected business family. Her grandfather, Ravi Ghai, is the chairman of the Graviss Group, which owns companies such as Baskin Robbins and The Brooklyn Creamery. Her background puts her in a lineage of entrepreneurialism and business leadership.
The engagement was a quiet thing, to be attended by family and friends only. But the wedding is believed to be a grand but a nice event to pick up, matching the Tendulkar family’s inclination for tradition and privacy. The ceremony will be held in Mumbai with guests including political leaders, celebrities and family friends.
Sachin Tendulkar had personally taken on the task of inviting dignitaries to the wedding. He and his wife, Anjali, and daughter Sara, had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and Rahul Gandhi to extend an invitation. The family was thankful for all advice given to the young couple and for the good fortune they received, emphasising the significance of the occasion beyond their immediate circle.
The wedding is a new chapter in cricket fans and the public at large in terms of the Tendulkar family's legacy. With Saaniya, Arjun, who is still on his cricketing path, enters that next stage of his life. The union embodies continuity of tradition, family values and cultural pride.
Saaniya Chandhok, while keeping a low profile until now, is now firmly in the public eye as the wife of Arjun Tendulkar. Her status as the daughter‑in‑law of Sachin Tendulkar is a possibility with the potential to become a member of one of India’s most prestigious families. Soon the wedding is being written and all eyes are shone on Mumbai, for a special occasion that will be imbued with all togetherness: heritage, family and national focus.
