The Tendulkar family is preparing for a major celebration as cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun Tendulkar, and his fiancée, Saaniya Chandok, have officially set a date for their wedding. After months of speculation, the couple is scheduled to tie the knot in March, marking a significant personal milestone.
From Engagement to Wedding Bells
The journey to the altar began last August 2023 when Arjun and Saaniya formalised their relationship with an intimate engagement ceremony. The event was attended by close friends and family, with both families opting to keep the celebrations private. This low-key approach has been a hallmark of their relationship, despite their high-profile backgrounds. The upcoming March wedding will bring an end to the widespread curiosity surrounding their plans.
Who is Saaniya Chandok?
Saaniya Chandok comes from a prominent Mumbai-based business family. She is the granddaughter of leading industrialist Ravi Ghai, who heads the Graviss Group. This conglomerate has a formidable presence in the food and hospitality sectors, owning popular ice cream brands like The Brooklyn Creamery and the Indian franchise of Baskin Robbins.
Professionally, Saaniya is an entrepreneur in her own right. According to Ministry of Corporate Affairs records, she serves as a Designated Partner and Director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, a Mumbai venture focused on pet care services and retail. The Ghai family's business portfolio also includes hospitality, with management of premium properties such as the InterContinental. Graviss Food Solutions Private Limited reported a revenue of ₹624 crore in FY23–24, showcasing a robust annual growth of approximately 20 percent.
Arjun Tendulkar's Path in Cricket
While his wedding plans make headlines, Arjun Tendulkar continues to carve his own niche in professional cricket as a bowling allrounder. His career recently saw a significant development as he was traded from the Mumbai Indians to the Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
In the domestic circuit, Arjun currently represents Goa, having moved from Mumbai ahead of the 2022/23 season. He made his T20 debut for Mumbai in the 2020/21 season against Haryana. His statistics in first-class cricket are noteworthy:
- 22 matches played in red-ball cricket.
- 620 runs scored, including one century and two half-centuries.
- 48 wickets taken, featuring one five-wicket haul and two four-wicket hauls.
In List A cricket, he has appeared in 23 matches for Goa, scoring 155 runs across 15 innings. As he steps into this new chapter of his personal life, the cricketing world will also be watching his performance with the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
The convergence of sports legacy and business pedigree makes this union one of the most anticipated social events of the year. The Tendulkar and Ghai families are expected to host celebrations that, while likely remaining private, will undoubtedly capture the nation's attention as two prominent Indian families come together.
