Arjun Tendulkar Engaged to Saaniya Chandok

In a blend of elite cricketing and business legacies, Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, got engaged to Saaniya Chandok, granddaughter of Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, at a ceremony attended only by close family and friends.

The Couple

Arjun Tendulkar is a left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder who plays domestic cricket for Goa and has represented Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Though he carries the weight of his father’s iconic name, Arjun has carved his own path in cricket, with notable performances in first-class matches.

Saaniya is a certified veterinary technician and the founder of Mr. Paws, a pet skincare brand. Her grandfather Ravi Ghai is chairman of Graviss Hospitality Ltd. Her family owns the InterContinental Marine Drive hotel and the Brooklyn Creamery ice cream brand.

Double blessings

The double ‘a’ in Saaniya’s name is interesting – though there is no confirmation that the spelling was chosen for numerological reasons, it has a numerological value often associated with introspection, wisdom and spiritual depth.

Asked about the unusual spelling, Arjun Tendulkar said, “I have no idea whether the additional ‘a’ in Saaniya’s name is coincidental or for some numerological benefit.”

The Engagement

The engagement ceremony in mid-August was an intimate event, reflecting the couple’s preference for privacy over pomp. While neither Arjun nor Sachin Tendulkar has made an official announcement on social media, fans and well-wishers reacted with joy as the news spread.

As Arjun and Saaniya step into this new phase of their lives, they carry not just their family legacies but also the hopes of fans who’ve watched Arjun grow under the shadow of his father’s greatness.

Here’s to love, legacy and new beginnings!
