The Tendulkar family celebrated a memorable occasion on Thursday as Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, tied the knot with entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok in a private yet star-studded ceremony in Mumbai on March 5. The 26-year-old cricketer, who currently represents Goa in domestic cricket and plays for Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League, began a new chapter in his life surrounded by family, friends, and several high-profile guests from cricket, cinema, and politics.
The wedding ceremony took place at a luxury hotel in Mumbai on Thursday morning, following which the Tendulkar family posed for photographs with the media. The guest list read like a who’s who of Indian cricket. Among those spotted at the celebration were MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar, Suresh Raina, Aakash Chopra, Irfan Pathan, and Harbhajan Singh.
The celebrations also attracted several prominent personalities from Bollywood and politics, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and politician Raj Thackeray, as well as members of the influential Ambani family.
