Arjun Tendulkar has become the talk of social media after news of his engagement to Saaniya Chandok went viral. The young cricketer, son of Indian legend
Sachin Tendulkar, is part of the
Mumbai Indians set-up in the IPL and made his debut for the franchise in 2023. Saaniya comes from a well-known business family in Mumbai. She is the granddaughter of entrepreneur Ravi Ghai, whose family has built a strong legacy in the hospitality and food industries, owning the InterContinental hotel and Brooklyn Creamery.
The engagement was kept private, away from the glare of cameras and lavish parties. It was a simple, family-focused occasion that underlined the close bond between the two families, making it all the more special.
