The city of dreams witnessed a spectacular union of sports and business legacy on Thursday, March 5, 2026, as cricketer Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, married his longtime partner and entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok. The wedding, held at the prestigious St. Regis Hotel in South Mumbai, was a beautiful blend of traditional Maharashtrian culture and modern grandeur.
A Dreamy Maharashtrian Affair
The wedding ceremony was deeply rooted in the Tendulkar family’s Maharashtrian heritage. Following a series of pre-wedding festivities including a vibrant Mehendi and a star-studded Sangeet, the main nuptials featured traditional rituals. The couple opted for a striking “SaaJ” theme—a creative blend of their names.
The highlight of the ceremony was a grand Maharashtrian sit-down Pangat (traditional feast), where guests were treated to authentic local delicacies. The decor was equally mesmerizing, featuring a 270-degree center mandap draped in soft whites, blush pinks, and fresh greens, creating a serene atmosphere for the couple’s “I do” moment. For the main ritual, both Arjun and Saaniya chose traditional red ensembles; Saaniya looked radiant in a classic red saree with a seedha pallu drape, while Arjun complemented her in a sophisticated maroon sherwani.
Who is Saaniya Chandhok?
While Arjun is a familiar face on the cricket field representing Goa and the Mumbai Indians, Saaniya Chandhok comes from an illustrious business background. She is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, Chairman of the Graviss Group (the powerhouse behind brands like Kwality Ice Cream and Baskin-Robbins India).
A graduate of the London School of Economics, Saaniya has carved her own path as a certified veterinarian and entrepreneur. She is the founder of Mr. Paws, a luxury pet spa and wellness brand based in Mumbai. Interestingly, Saaniya has been a close friend of Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar, for years before the childhood friends decided to embark on this new journey together.
