Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, along with his family and the family of his son's fiancee, Saaniya Chandhok, visited Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday to meet President Droupadi Murmu and formally invite her to Arjun Tendulkar's wedding, scheduled to take place in early March.
“Last February, Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji graciously hosted us at Rashtrapati Bhavan. We relived some of those cherished memories when we met the President today to invite her to Arjun and Saaniya’s wedding. Thank you for your warm wishes, Hon’ble President,” Sachin wrote on X while sharing a picture from the family’s visit.
Sachin also met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and shared pictures with the two iconic leaders.
Arjun, the son of the renowned former cricketer, plans to marry Saaniya Chandhok, a successful entrepreneur and trained veterinary technician. Their wedding festivities are scheduled to begin on March 3, with a private ceremony on March 5. The event will be attended only by close family and friends, and it will be a low-key celebration, sources had confirmed to IANS last month.
The engagement took place in August last year in a similarly private affair, with only close relatives and friends present. Saaniya Chandhok is notably the granddaughter of Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, adding a prominent business lineage to the alliance.
Arjun is developing a promising cricket career. As a fast bowler and useful lower-order batsman, he quickly made his mark in domestic cricket with a century on his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa in 2022. His talent has also been recognized in the Indian Premier League (IPL), initially joining the Mumbai Indians in 2021.
