Sachin Tendulkar invites Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi for son Arjun's wedding ceremony

Sachin Tendulkar meets Rahul Gandhi to invite him to son Arjun's wedding with Saaniya Chandok. President Murmu, PM Modi also invited.

"Our family had the opportunity to meet Shri Rahul Gandhi ji and invite him to Arjun-Saaniya's wedding. - Sachin Tendulkar"

New Delhi, February 10

Legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar invited the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for the wedding of his son Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandok on Tuesday.

The duo got engaged in August last year.

He met Rahul Gandhi with his family in New Delhi. Sharing the news on X, Tendulkar wrote, "Our family had the opportunity to meet Shri @RahulGandhi ji and invite him to Arjun-Saaniya's wedding."

Tendulkar also invited President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for Arjun's wedding earlier in the day.

The 26-year-old all-rounder has played five IPL matches for MI and has taken three wickets while conceding 114 runs. He also scored 13 runs in his IPL career so far. Arjun now plays for Goa in domestic cricket after making his Mumbai debut in 2021.

Arjun Tendulkar was traded to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) from Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction last year and will play for LSG this season. While the five-time IPL champions were required to part ways with Arjun, they have secured the services of leg-spinner Mayank Markande in a trade with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

The Mumbai Indians selected Arjun in the IPL 2021 mini-auction for Rs 20 lakh, but he did not feature in any matches that season. MI bought him again for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2022 mega-auction, and he made his long-awaited IPL debut in 2023, taking three wickets in four games. Ahead of IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as MI captain, and Arjun appeared in only one match that season.

In the IPL 2025 mega-auction, Arjun went unsold in the initial round but was later acquired by MI at his base price of Rs 30 lakh in the accelerated round. He did not get a game that season and remained on the bench. Saaniya Chandok comes from a prominent background.

She is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, Chairman of the Graviss Group. She has been a close friend of the Tendulkar family, particularly Arjun's sister, Sara Tendulkar, for several years.

Respectfully, I feel the article spends too much on Arjun's cricket stats. This is a personal family moment. The focus should be on the wedding and the couple's future.

Sachin sir is a true Bharat Ratna. He has always maintained grace and connected with everyone. Inviting the President, PM, HM, and LoP shows his inclusive nature. God bless the young couple!

Interesting to see the guest list. It's a high-profile wedding for sure. Hope Arjun finds more stability in his cricket career with LSG. Best wishes to him and Saaniya.

Typical Indian wedding news! First the engagement, then the political invites make headlines. At the end of the day, it's about two families coming together. May they have a shaadi full of masti and pyaar.

The pressure of being Sachin's son must be immense. Wishing Arjun all the best for his married life and his cricket. Sometimes stepping out of Mumbai (to Goa, now LSG) is the right move to build your own identity.
