Who Is Saaniya Chandok? Arjun Tendulkar’s New Bride

Saaniya Chandhok is a Mumbai-based entrepreneur and animal welfare advocate who recently married Arjun Tendulkar, the son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The couple tied the knot in a star-studded yet intimate ceremony in Mumbai on March 5, 2026, at The St. Regis Hotel, attended by prominent figures from cricket, Bollywood, and business, including the Ambani family, MS Dhoni, and others. Their relationship, which evolved from long-time family connections and friendship—Saaniya is reportedly a close friend of Arjun's sister Sara Tendulkar—culminated in a private engagement in August 2025 before the wedding.

Born and raised in Mumbai, Saaniya comes from a prominent business family. She is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, Chairman of the Graviss Group, which has significant interests in food and hospitality sectors, including brands like Baskin-Robbins, Brooklyn Creamery, Kwality Ice Cream, and the InterContinental Hotel in Mumbai. Her parents are Sunny and Gaurika Ghai Chandhok. Despite her family's legacy, Saaniya pursued her own path, focusing on entrepreneurship rather than joining the family business directly.

Saaniya completed her schooling at prestigious Mumbai institutions, including BD Somani International School and The Cathedral & John Connon School. She later graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2020 with a degree in Business Management. Passionate about animals, she also obtained certification as a veterinary technician through the ABC program of the Worldwide Veterinary Service, combining theoretical knowledge with practical animal care skills. This expertise aligns with her role as an advocate for animal welfare.

In 2022, Saaniya founded Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, a luxury pet grooming, wellness, and retail brand in Mumbai. The venture offers high-end services and products for pets, reflecting her commitment to quality animal care and her entrepreneurial drive. She serves as a designated partner and director of the company, which has positioned her in India's growing pet care industry. Her Instagram profile (@saaniyachandhok) highlights her association with the business, though she maintains a relatively low public profile overall.

Saaniya's marriage to Arjun Tendulkar has brought her into the spotlight, blending her private, animal-focused world with the high-profile Tendulkar family. Pre-wedding festivities, including mehendi and sangeet events, drew attention for their elegance and celebrity guests. Reports describe her as grounded and dedicated to her passions, with an estimated personal net worth ranging from USD 100,000 to USD 500,000, derived primarily from her pet care business.
