Sachin Tendulkar confirms son Arjun's engagement, reveals advice to daughter Sara

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has confirmed that his son, Arjun Tendulkar, is officially engaged to Saaniya Chandok. Arjun, following in his father’s sporting footsteps, celebrated a private engagement ceremony with Saaniya, attended only by close family and friends. Saaniya Chandok, who prefers to maintain a low public profile, comes from a well-known Mumbai business family.

She is the granddaughter of prominent businessman Ravi Ghai, whose family has a notable presence in hospitality and the food industry, including ownership of the InterContinental hotel and the popular ice cream brand Brooklyn Creamery.

Tendulkar confirmed Arjun’s engagement during a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ (AMA) session on August 25, where Sachin expressed excitement over this new chapter in his son’s life.

One of the fans asked Tendulkar, “Did Arjun really get engaged??”

Replying to the fan, Tendulkar said, “Yes he did, and we are all very excited for the new phase in his life.”

Tendulkar also recently shared his pride in his daughter Sara’s entrepreneurial journey, celebrating the launch of her own Pilates studio in Andheri, Mumbai. Pilates is a low-impact exercise system that emphasises core strength, flexibility, posture, and controlled breathing.

Studios like Sara’s are typically equipped with reformers, mats, and resistance tools, with skilled instructors guiding clients through exercises designed to enhance overall body balance and wellbeing.

Tendulkar praised Sara’s dedication and vision, highlighting how her commitment and perseverance made the venture possible.

During a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, a fan congratulated him on his daughter’s success and asked what guidance he offers his children.

“Congratulations on your daughter Sara's venture What advice you gave your kids while they grew up?” the fan asked.

Replying to the fan, Tendulkar said that one must “trust the process and results always follow the action.” He stressed that encouraging children to chase their dreams is crucial, as it transforms aspirations into reality.

“I have always believed that you must chase your dreams because that’s how they become a reality. I followed it and told the same to both my children. Like in cricket and in life, you have to trust the process and results always follow the action,” Tendulkar said.

In a recent interview with India Today, Sara, who was recently appointed as the face of Tourism Australia’s Come and Say G’day campaign for Indian audiences, shared insights into her dream. She explained how she dedicates time each day to ensure that her Pilates studio is designed and run exactly as she envisioned, reflecting her commitment to both quality and her personal approach to wellness.
