Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, accompanied by his family, made a significant visit to the national capital this week with a special purpose. The legendary batsman personally extended invitations to some of India's most prominent political figures for the upcoming wedding of his son, Arjun Tendulkar.
Meeting the Nation's Leadership
The Tendulkar family's itinerary included meetings with the highest offices in the country. Sachin Tendulkar first met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to formally invite him to the family celebration. The meeting was documented through photographs shared on social media, showing the Prime Minister with the entire Tendulkar family, including Arjun and his fiancée Saaniya Chandok.
