Mumbai, Aug 14, 2025 - Cricketer Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, has gotten engaged to Saaniya Chandok in a private ceremony, sources confirmed on Wednesday. The news of the 25-year-old cricketer’s engagement quickly went viral, with social media users flooding timelines with congratulatory messages, reactions, and lighthearted banter.

No official statement has been released by the Tendulkar or Chandok families yet. However, reports suggest that the ceremony was attended only by close friends and relatives of both sides, keeping the affair intimate and away from the public eye.

According to India Today, Saaniya Chandok is the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai entrepreneur Ravi Ghai. The Ghai family is well-known in the hospitality and food industries, owning the InterContinental Hotel and Brooklyn Creamery. Their long-standing presence in Mumbai’s business circles has made them a respected name in the sector.

Images from the engagement, though limited, began circulating online, with one picture showing Arjun and Saaniya surrounded by family members. Fans were quick to share the news, many expressing surprise at the young pacer’s big personal milestone.

Arjun Tendulkar, a left-arm fast bowler who can also contribute with the bat, currently plays domestic cricket for Goa and represents Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He made his IPL debut in 2023, featuring in four matches and picking up three wickets, including the prized scalp of SunRisers Hyderabad’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar as his first IPL wicket.

The following season, Arjun played just one game without taking a wicket. Ahead of the 2024 season, MI retained him, and in the next mega auction, the franchise bought him for ₹30 lakh.

In his domestic career so far, Arjun has played 17 First-Class matches, taking 37 wickets and scoring 532 runs. In T20 cricket, he has featured in 24 games, claiming 27 wickets and adding 119 runs. His List A record includes 18 matches with 25 wickets and 102 runs.

While his cricket career continues to develop, this personal milestone has brought Arjun into the spotlight in a different way. Many social media users noted that he is one of the few young cricketers to get engaged so early in his career.

Fans also drew comparisons to his father’s famously private personal life. Sachin Tendulkar, who remains one of the most celebrated sports icons in India, has yet to publicly comment on his son’s engagement.

Cricket enthusiasts and Bollywood-watchers alike have shown curiosity about Saaniya Chandok, given her family’s prominence in Mumbai’s elite circles. For now, the couple has kept their relationship and engagement details under wraps, adding to the intrigue.

With Arjun’s cricketing commitments ahead and a wedding possibly on the horizon, the coming months promise to be eventful for the Tendulkar family. For his fans, the engagement is a reminder that life off the pitch can bring just as much excitement as the game itself.
