Indian cricket hero Sachin Tendulkar celebrated his son's wedding in Mumbai on Thursday.

Arjun Tendulkar, who has followed his father's footsteps into the world of cricket, married his fiancee Saaniya Chandhok in South Mumbai. The pair announced their engagement in August 2025.

Celebrations around the nuptials started late last month and included a pre-wedding blessing conducted by Nita Ambani at an Ambani family property in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The Ambanis are India's richest family. In 2024, their son Anant was married in a six-day spectacle.

The guest list for Thursday's wedding was filled with famous faces from cinema, entertainment and cricket, who also largely followed tradition, wearing Indian attire in shades of gold, pale green and cream.
