New Delhi buzzed with excitement on Tuesday as cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar paid a courtesy visit to President Droupadi Murmu, extending a personal invitation to his son Arjun Tendulkar’s upcoming wedding. Accompanied by his wife Anjali, daughter Sara, son Arjun, and future daughter-in-law Sania Chandok, the Tendulkar family turned the meeting into a heartwarming family affair.
Sachin shared a family photo from the Rashtrapati Bhavan on X, reminiscing about a previous hosted visit in February. ‘Today, we invited the President to Arjun and Sania’s wedding, reliving those cherished memories. Thank you for your blessings,’ he posted. The gesture underscores Sachin’s enduring respect for national leaders and his desire to share personal milestones with them.
The family’s Delhi itinerary didn’t stop there. They met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who offered his blessings and sage advice to the young couple. Sachin expressed gratitude on social media, highlighting the PM’s warm reception. Similarly, a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah saw another invitation extended, with Sachin appreciating the minister’s affectionate welcome.
Reports also indicate a visit to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, broadening the political spectrum of their outreach. This series of high-profile invitations highlights the Tendulkar family’s prominence across India’s diverse landscape.
Arjun, the 26-year-old left-arm pacer, got engaged to Sania Chandok last August. Sania hails from Mumbai’s influential Ghai family, known for their stakes in hospitality giants like InterContinental Hotels and Brooklyn Creamery ice cream brand. As a partner and director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa and Store LLP, she brings entrepreneurial flair to the union.
On the cricket front, Arjun has carved a niche as an all-rounder for Goa in domestic circuits. Boasting 48 wickets and 620 runs in 22 first-class matches, plus IPL stints with Mumbai Indians and a debut for Kolkata Knight Riders, he’s now set for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026. His journey from Sachin’s son to a promising talent captivates fans.
As wedding preparations gain momentum, this blend of personal joy and public grace cements the Tendulkar legacy. The nation’s eyes will be on this celebrity wedding, promising a spectacle of tradition and stardom.
