Cricketer Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar, is said to be engaged to Saaniya Chandok, the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai. The engagement is said to have been held on Wednesday in a close-knit function attended by only near relatives and close friends from both sides, reports India Today.
Arjun Tendulkar Engaged To Saaniya Chandok
The Ghai family has a strong presence in the hospitality and food industries, owning Mumbai’s InterContinental Hotel and popular ice cream brand Brooklyn Creamery. Despite the reports, neither family has issued a formal announcement. Arjun’s social media activity on the day showed no hint of the news—his Instagram story featured him at a bowling session, captioned simply about being on the cricket field. His last post prior to this was a playful Raksha Bandhan video with his sister Sara.
As with his father, Arjun too seems to have made a big personal decision at quite a young age. Sachin had declared his intention to marry Anjali Mehta when he was merely 19 years old, actually marrying her in 1995 when he was 22.
Arjun, 25 now, is a left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder for Goa in domestic cricket. In 17 First-Class games, he has picked up 37 wickets and over 500 runs, including a debut hundred in the Ranji Trophy for Rajasthan in 2022, a feat which replicated Sachin’s own Ranji debut century way back in 1988. His List A tally features 25 wickets across 18 games, with 27 wickets in 24 T20 games.

In the Indian Premier League, Arjun was initially purchased by Mumbai Indians in 2021. He debuted in 2023, claiming his first wicket against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He played five games throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Before the 2025 season, Mumbai released him but signed him back at the mega auction for 30 lakh.
Saaniya, on the other hand, hails from one of the most powerful business families in Mumbai and is famous for being very low-key. With neither family confirming the engagement yet, fans will most probably be waiting eagerly for word about the young couple’s intentions.
