Held at a lavish venue in Mumbai, the wedding turned out to be a reunion of some of the biggest names in Indian cricket. Friends, teammates, and legends from multiple generations gathered to celebrate the reunion. Among the most notable arrivals was former India captain MS Dhoni, who attended the ceremony with his wife Sakshi. The guest list read like a cricket hall of fame.
Icons like Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, and Ravi Shastri were seen at the venue. Also present were World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh and blaster Virender Sehwag. Former players, including Suresh Raina, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, and Irfan Pathan, were also present with their families. The presence of many cricket greats turned the wedding into a gathering of the biggest stars of the game.
Viral moment: Varmala’s hug
While the guest list grabbed the headlines, it was a simple moment during the ceremony that melted hearts online. During the traditional varmala exchange, Arjun hugged Saaniya after placing a garland around her neck. Standing nearby, Sachin watched the scene with a warm smile before moving forward to bless the couple.

Clips of the heartfelt conversation went viral on social media, as fans celebrated the emotional family moment. Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar, also became part of the public celebrations after a video from the sangeet showed her dancing happily during the pre-wedding festivities.
Amazing party in Mumbai
The wedding itself combined traditional elegance with beautiful design. The hall was decorated with beautiful floral arrangements, hanging garlands, and intricate cultural elements that created a festive and cheerful atmosphere. The ceremony took place under a magnificent mandap installation which formed the focal point of the decorations. Arjun looked dapper in a red embroidered sherwani teamed with a flower crown, while Saaniya dazzled in a stunning pink saree featuring gold embroidery.
Family photos from the ceremony quickly went viral, showing the newlyweds surrounded by their loved ones, including Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar. The wedding celebrations also included musical performances and traditional rituals before concluding with a Maharashtrian-style celebratory banquet.
Who is Saaniya Chandhok?
Although the wedding put her firmly in the public eye, Saaniya has long since forged her own identity in the business world. He hails from a well-known Mumbai business family linked to the Graviss Group, a company with strong ties to the hospitality and food businesses. The family’s legacy includes involvement in iconic brands and hospitality ventures across the city. Saaniya is also an entrepreneur in her own right.
After completing a degree in business administration from the London School of Economics, he launched a luxury pet grooming and welfare brand in Mumbai called Mr. Paws. Her professional interests extend to animal care as well. He is qualified as a veterinary technician and has built his business around pet health services and grooming services. Interestingly, he has also been a part of the Tendulkar family’s social circle over the years and shares a close friendship with Sara Tendulkar.
A love story that grew quietly
Unlike many high-profile relationships, Arjun and Saaniya kept their romance largely out of the public eye. According to reports, the two were first connected through mutual friends before their friendship turned into a relationship. Their engagement last August marked the first time their relationship became public. Since then, the excitement around their wedding slowly built up, with pre-wedding celebrations including a mehendi ceremony in Mumbai and a special ceremony organized earlier in Jamnagar.
Arjun’s journey beyond his famous name
While the wedding has put him in the limelight for personal reasons, Arjun continues to make his own way in cricket. The left-arm fast bowler has been building his domestic career. In first-class cricket, he has taken more than 50 wickets and contributed important runs with the bat.
His performances have also given him an opportunity in franchise cricket. Arjun was recently traded from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season. For young people from all sides, the coming months promise professional challenges and a new chapter in personal life.
