Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has personally invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu to attend the wedding of his son, Arjun Tendulkar, with Saaniya Chandok.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Mumbai on March 5 and is expected to be a high-profile gathering.
Tendulkar shared details of the meeting with the Prime Minister on social media, expressing gratitude for the blessings and guidance offered to the young couple.
He described the occasion as a moment of honour for the family. Apart from PM Modi and President Murmu, Tendulkar also met Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi to personally extend invitations.
Arjun Tendulkar, 26, is a left-arm pacer who continues to build his career in India’s domestic circuit and the Indian Premier League.
Among the notable IPL 2026 players, Arjun will represent Lucknow Super Giants after being traded from the Mumbai Indians ahead of the new season.
Arjun has featured in five IPL matches so far and continues to develop his career at the domestic level, currently playing for Goa. He previously represented Mumbai across various age-group tournaments before making his first-class debut.
Saaniya Chandok belongs to a well-known Mumbai-based business family. She is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, whose family has significant interests in the hospitality and food sectors.
The family is associated with the InterContinental Hotel in Mumbai and the ice-cream brand Brooklyn Creamery.
Despite her business background, Saaniya maintains a relatively low public profile and serves as a designated partner and director at a Mumbai-based pet care venture.
The couple got engaged in August last year in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family members.
Preparations for the upcoming wedding are underway, with the event expected to attract several prominent personalities from sports, politics, and business.
Sachin Tendulkar, regarded as one of the greatest batters in cricket history, continues to remain closely connected with public life even after retirement.
The wedding of his son has naturally drawn widespread attention, combining the worlds of cricket, politics, and industry in a single high-profile celebration.
