Sachin Tendulkar’s Son Arjun Gets Engaged to Mumbai Tycoon’s Granddaughter Saaniya Chandok — Here’s Everything We Know!
In a heartwarming development that has the cricket and business worlds buzzing, Arjun Tendulkar, the son of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has gotten engaged to Saaniya Chandok, the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, as reported by India Today.
The engagement was a private and intimate affair, attended only by close friends and family from both sides. While the couple has kept things low-key on social media, the news of their union has spread quickly, sparking excitement among fans and well-wishers across the country.
Arjun Tendulkar – Carrying Forward the Cricket Legacy
A talented left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder, Arjun plays domestic cricket for Goa and has also represented Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League.
Arjun began his domestic career with Mumbai in the 2020/21 season before making the switch to Goa in the 2022/23 season in search of more opportunities. His cricketing record includes:
- First-Class Cricket: 17 matches, 532 runs (1 century, 2 fifties), and 37 wickets.
- List A Cricket: 17 matches for Goa, scoring 76 runs in nine innings.
- IPL Career: 5 matches for MI, claiming 3 wickets from 73 deliveries at an average of 38.00, best figures of 1/9, and an economy rate of 9.36. With the bat, he scored 13 runs off 9 balls at a strike rate of 144.44.
While his cricket career is still in its early stages, Arjun is steadily working to carve his own identity in the sport, away from the enormous shadow of his father.
Who is Saaniya Chandok?
Unlike Arjun, Saaniya keeps a low public profile but hails from one of Mumbai’s most influential business families. Her grandfather, Ravi Ghai, is a well-known figure in the hospitality and food industry. The Ghai family’s portfolio includes ownership of the InterContinental Hotel in Mumbai and the popular ice cream brand Brooklyn Creamery.
Official records from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs reveal that Saaniya is a Designated Partner and Director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, a luxury pet grooming and care venture based in Mumbai. This suggests her entrepreneurial streak and passion for animal welfare.
A Union of Cricket & Business Dynasties
The engagement of Arjun and Saaniya marks the coming together of two highly respected families — one a cricketing dynasty revered worldwide, and the other a business powerhouse with deep roots in Mumbai’s corporate circles.
Given Sachin Tendulkar’s immense popularity and Ravi Ghai’s influence in the hospitality industry, the wedding is expected to be a high-profile event whenever it happens, although no official date has been announced.
Fans across social media are flooding the couple with congratulatory messages, praising their decision to keep the engagement private despite their high-profile backgrounds. For Arjun, this marks not only a significant personal milestone but also a period of professional focus as he aims to strengthen his cricketing career.
With two powerful families now connected, the future certainly looks bright — both on and off the field.
