Arjun Tendulkar, the 25-year-old son of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, has officially taken a big step in his personal life. According to multiple media reports, the young cricketer recently got engaged to Saaniya Chandok in a private ceremony attended only by close friends and family.
Saaniya Chandok is a successful entrepreneur, serving as Designated Partner and Director at the Mumbai-based pet nutrition and welfare brand Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP. She also comes from a prominent business family — she is the granddaughter of veteran Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, chairman of the Graviss Group.
The Graviss Group holds a strong presence in India’s hospitality and food-and-beverage sector, with ventures including the iconic Kwality ice cream brand founded by I.K. Ghai, The Brooklyn Creamery, and Mumbai’s prestigious InterContinental Hotel on Marine Drive. The Ghai family has been in the spotlight in recent years, partly due to a reported family dispute over the ownership of the InterContinental.

Saaniya’s professional achievements extend beyond her family legacy. An Instagram post from Mr. Paws Pet Spa reveals that she is also the founder of the company. She holds a degree from the London School of Economics and, in late 2024, earned a Veterinary Technician diploma from the Worldwide Veterinary Service, reflecting her passion for animal welfare.

Fans also discovered that Saaniya shares a warm bond with Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar. Eagle-eyed social media users spotted pictures from earlier this year showing Sara and Saaniya clicking selfies during a Jaipur trip. The two have also been seen together at IPL matches in recent seasons, sparking speculation about Arjun and Saaniya’s relationship well before the engagement news broke.
In keeping with the couple’s preference for privacy, the engagement function was reportedly kept low-key, with no official statement released by either family. The decision mirrors the close-guarded personal life of the Tendulkars, who have often chosen to celebrate major milestones away from the public glare.

Meanwhile, Arjun Tendulkar continues to build his cricketing career, carrying the weight of his father’s monumental legacy while forging his own path. A left-arm seamer known for his ability to swing the ball, Arjun currently represents Goa in domestic cricket. In the IPL, he plays for the Mumbai Indians, having featured in five matches across the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Balancing his growing cricketing ambitions with his personal milestones, Arjun’s engagement marks an exciting new chapter in the life of the Tendulkar family — one that blends cricketing heritage with entrepreneurial flair. While the couple remains silent on wedding plans, their quiet celebration has already made waves among cricket fans and the Mumbai social circuit alike.
