Mumbai, March 5 (NationPress) A host of notable figures from the Indian cricket community converged in the city on Thursday to celebrate the wedding of Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, and entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok.
Arjun, who is following in his father's illustrious footsteps by playing domestic and league cricket, exchanged vows with his long-term partner, Saaniya, after an extensive period of planning and festivities.
The couple had previously announced their engagement during a private gathering in August 2025, attended by family and close friends, culminating in their wedding today.
Among the prominent attendees were iconic personalities from Indian cricket, such as former captain MS Dhoni, ex-coach Rahul Dravid, legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble, World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh, and Venkatesh Prasad, president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), all present to wish the couple well on their momentous occasion.

Saaniya, a Mumbai-based entrepreneur hailing from a prominent business lineage, is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, chairman of Graviss Group. She has made a name for herself in the pet care and animal welfare sectors, recognized for her contributions as a veterinary technician and businesswoman.
Earlier in February, Sachin Tendulkar visited Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde with his wife to extend a formal invitation for the wedding ceremony.
The cricket legend has also invited high-profile figures, including President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, to join in the celebrations.
Meanwhile, Arjun has showcased impressive form in the DY Patil Cup and is set to play for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
