1/7

Made for each other!

While Karun Nair is best known for his extraordinary achievements on the cricket pitch—most notably his historic triple century in Test cricket, his off-field life is just as captivating. At the heart of it is his wife, the stunning and graceful Sanaya Tankariwala, whose elegance, charm, and grounded nature make her a standout personality in her own right.

2/7

​A love story rooted in tradition and togetherness

Karun and Sanaya's love story blossomed over time and is marked by mutual respect and deep affection. The couple got engaged on June 29, 2019, in a close-knit ceremony, surrounded by family and friends. Their love culminated in a beautiful wedding on January 19, 2020, which was both lavish and meaningful. What made their union extra special was its cultural richness - Sanaya, who was born into a Parsi family, chose to marry Karun, who belongs to the Hindu community. The couple honoured both faiths, tying the knot in traditional Parsi and Hindu ceremonies.

3/7

​Sanaya’s natural beauty and quiet glamour

Sanaya’s beauty is truly timeless. Whether she's seen in traditional attire or casual chic looks, she exudes a quiet glamour that’s impossible to ignore. With her glowing skin, expressive eyes, and radiant smile, Sanaya has a presence that is both classic and contemporary. She is often described as one of the most beautiful wives in the Indian cricket fraternity and rightfully so.

4/7

​A private professional with a strong presence

By profession, Sanaya is a media professional, intelligent and well-versed in her field. Despite being married to a popular cricketer, she prefers to keep a low public profile. However, her curated Instagram profile (which currently has 10.3 K followers) offers fans a charming peek into her life. From adorable pictures with her children to elegant snapshots with Karun, her feed reflects warmth, beauty, and a genuine love for family.

5/7

Love beyond boundaries

One of the most admirable aspects of Sanaya and Karun’s relationship is how it transcended cultural and religious boundaries. Sanaya embraced Hindu traditions wholeheartedly, while also holding on to her Parsi roots, a balance that shows the depth of her character and the strength of their bond. Their dual ceremonies were a beautiful celebration of unity and mutual respect.

6/7

​Living their best life as parents

Today, Karun and Sanaya are proud parents to two adorable children, a son named Kayaan and a daughter named Samara. From milestone celebrations to quiet moments captured on social media, it’s clear that this young family is thriving. Sanaya continues to inspire with her beauty, grace, and devotion, proving that being behind the scenes doesn’t mean going unnoticed.

7/7

We love this couple

Karun Nair and Sanaya Tankariwala’s marriage is a heartwarming story of love that blossomed beyond cultural boundaries. The cricketer and the media professional tied the knot in a grand yet intimate celebration on January 19, 2020, following their engagement the previous year. What makes their union truly special is the seamless blend of their diverse roots - Sanaya, born into a Parsi family, embraced Karun’s Hindu traditions with grace and love. Their wedding beautifully honoured both customs, symbolising not just the union of two individuals but of families and cultures. Now parents to two adorable children, Kayaan and Samara, the couple’s journey is a testament to companionship, mutual respect, and unwavering support, a modern love story grounded in timeless values.
