Sachin Tendulkar, with family, met PM Modi to invite him to Arjun's March 5 wedding with Saaniya Chandhok in Mumbai.
Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and his family met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to personally extend an invitation to the wedding of Sachin's son, Arjun Tendulkar, and his fiancée Saaniya Chandhok. The warm encounter, captured in photos shared by Tendulkar on social media, featured the entire family—Sachin, wife Anjali, daughter Sara, and son Arjun—posing alongside the Prime Minister in a gesture that blended India's sporting heritage with national leadership.
Sachin Tendulkar expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt post, writing, "We were honoured to invite Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji to Arjun and Saaniya's wedding. Thank you, Modi ji, for your blessings and thoughtful advice for the young couple." The meeting highlighted the respect accorded to Tendulkar, a Bharat Ratna recipient and one of cricket's most revered figures, whose personal milestones often resonate widely across the country.
The upcoming wedding is set for March 5, 2026, in Mumbai, following the couple's engagement in August 2025. Arjun Tendulkar, a 26-year-old left-arm pacer who has represented Mumbai domestically and played in the IPL, will tie the knot with Saaniya Chandhok, an entrepreneur and granddaughter of prominent industrialist Ravi Ghai. The ceremony is expected to remain a private, intimate affair attended by close family and friends, with festivities reportedly beginning on March 3.
