Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has officially confirmed that his son, Arjun Tendulkar, is engaged to Saaniya Chandok. The announcement came during a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ session, where a fan directly asked, “Did Arjun really get engaged??” Sachin responded with warmth and pride, saying, “Yes he did, and we are all very excited for the new phase in his life.” This confirmation put an end to weeks of speculation and media buzz surrounding the young cricketer’s personal life.
The engagement was reportedly a private affair, attended only by close family and friends. Saaniya Chandok, Arjun’s fiancée, hails from a well-known Mumbai business family. She is the granddaughter of hospitality tycoon Ravi Ghai, whose family owns the InterContinental Hotel and the Brooklyn Creamery ice cream brand. Despite her prominent lineage, Saaniya has maintained a low public profile and is known for her entrepreneurial work in pet care, serving as Director of Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP.
Arjun Tendulkar, 25, is steadily building his cricketing career. A left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder, he currently plays domestic cricket for Goa and has also represented the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. While he hasn’t yet made his debut for the Indian national team, Arjun has shown promise with notable performances in first-class and T20 matches. His engagement marks a personal milestone as he continues to grow both on and off the field.
The Tendulkar family has long been in the public eye, but they’ve always handled personal matters with grace and discretion. Sachin’s candid confirmation during the Reddit session was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans across the globe. As Arjun steps into this new chapter of life with Saaniya, the cricketing world and beyond are celebrating the union of two prominent families with admiration and joy.
