'Wishing you both a very happy married life': Raina congratulates Arjun-Saaniya after wedding
Mumbai, March 5
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has congratulated Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok after their wedding and wished the couple a happy married life.
Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar, tied the knot with entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok in a ceremony attended by several prominent personalities from the cricketing fraternity on Thursday.
Raina shared a congratulatory message for the newly married couple, while also extending his greetings to cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali Tendulkar. The 39-year-old also shared a photo of the wedding on Instagram in which the cricketer turned commentator, Aakash Chopra, was also seen posing with the newly wed couple.
"Congratulations @arjuntendulkar24 & Sanya! Wishing you both a very happy married life! Congratulations, paji @sachintendulkar & Anjali bhabhi," Raina wrote.
Other than Raina, big personalities in Indian cricket, including former India captain MS Dhoni, ex-head coach Rahul Dravid, legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble, World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) president Venkatesh Prasad, among others, have blessed the couple on their special day.
International Cricket Council (ICC) chief Jay Shah also came to Mumbai to attend the wedding and give his blessings to the couple. He is expected to attend the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final clash between India and England at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Thursday evening.
Arjun and Saaniya previously got engaged in a private ceremony in August 2025, attended by close family members and friends.
Arjun's Wedding festivities began earlier this week with a series of traditional ceremonies and celebrations. Pre-wedding events, including mehendi and sangeet functions, were held in Mumbai, with several former and current cricketers in attendance.
Arjun's wife, Saaniya, is a Mumbai-based entrepreneur who comes from a prominent business family and is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, chairman of the Graviss Group. She has built a career in the pet-care and animal welfare sector and is known for her work as a veterinary technician and entrepreneur.

Congratulations to the young couple! Sachin sir must be so proud. It's nice to see Arjun building his own path and Saaniya seems like a very accomplished person with her work in animal welfare. Best wishes for their new journey.
The guest list reads like a who's who of Indian cricket! Dhoni, Dravid, Kumble, Yuvi... amazing. While I wish them all the best, I do hope the media gives them some privacy to enjoy their marriage away from the constant spotlight.
Lovely news. Saaniya's work with animals is particularly impressive. It's refreshing to see a high-profile marriage where the bride's professional achievements are highlighted alongside the family legacy. Wishing them joy.
Raina's message is so sweet, calling Sachin 'paji' and Anjali 'bhabhi'. Shows the family-like bond in Indian cricket. May their marriage be filled with as much love and respect. Shaadi Mubarak! 🎉
Good to see Jay Shah also attending amidst his busy schedule with the World Cup semi-final happening. The blend of a massive cricketing event and a personal celebration in Mumbai today sums up India's passion for the sport. All the best to the newlyweds!
