Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar tied the knot with long-time girlfriend and entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok in a grand ceremony in Mumbai on Thursday.
Prominent personalities from the world of cricket, business, politics and Bollywood turned up at the most high-profile wedding of the year.
Saaniya is the granddaughter of noted industrialist Ravi Ghai. The couple, who got engaged in August last year, celebrated their union in the presence of close family members and distinguished guests.
Post-wedding, the couple, flanked by their families, including Sachin and his wife Anjali Tendulkar, and Arjun's sister Sara Tendulkar, posed for a family portrait.
For the ceremony, Saaniya chose a classic bridal look rooted in traditional Indian aesthetics. She wore a richly embroidered red saree adorned with intricate zari and thread work that formed dense patterns across the fabric and blouse. The saree's pallu featured heavy gold borders, adding a regal finish to the ensemble.
Her jewellery followed a classic bridal style, featuring a statement choker necklace, paired with matching earrings and stacked bangles. The jewellery appeared to feature gemstone detailing that complemented the red and gold palette. Saaniya styled her hair in soft waves with a centre parting, while her makeup featured defined eyes and a warm-toned bridal look.
Arjun matched the ceremonial theme in a deep red sherwani heavily embellished with gold embroidery. The outfit featured a high collar and intricate floral motifs, making it a striking wedding ensemble. He paired the sherwani with ivory or cream straight-cut trousers and brown traditional shoes, creating a coordinated look with the bride's attire. His hairstyle was neatly styled with a subtle side part, giving the overall appearance a formal and understated finish.
