Pre-wedding festivities have commenced for Arjun Tendulkar, IPL cricketer and son of India legend Sachin Tendulkar, as he prepares to marry Saaniya Chandhok. The wedding ceremony is expected to take place on March 5, 2026, with Sachin recently extending invitations to prominent dignitaries including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu.
Meanwhile, IPL franchise Mumbai Indians shared a video featuring Arjun and Saaniya together. In the clip, Sachin expressed his emotions about the upcoming wedding.
“Jab beta koi ladki ko ghar leke aata hai, introduce karne ke liye, then you know ke beta bada ho gaya hai (When a son brings a girl home to introduce her, then you know that the son has grown up). They look madly in love with each other. Arjun, I have to say I am extremely proud of you to have found someone so special who loves you as much as you love her,” said Sachin.
Engagement and Background
Arjun and Saaniya were engaged in August 2025. The left-arm pacer was recently traded from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and continues to feature regularly in India’s domestic cricket circuit.
Saaniya Chandhok is an entrepreneur and belongs to a well-known family. She is the granddaughter of Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai and has reportedly been closely associated with the Tendulkar family for a considerable period.
Arjun’s Domestic Journey
Arjun has established his own identity in domestic cricket, moving from his formative years in Mumbai to becoming an important bowling all-rounder for Goa. A tall left-arm fast bowler who can contribute with the bat in the lower order, he marked his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa in 2022 with a century, matching his father’s achievement of scoring a hundred in his first first-class appearance.
Despite the constant attention that comes with his surname, Arjun has displayed flashes of promise during his time with Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He is set to attract further focus when he represents Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season.
