In a move blending cricket royalty with political prominence, Sachin Tendulkar led his family on a special Delhi trip to invite India’s top dignitaries to son Arjun’s wedding. The centerpiece was Tuesday’s warm encounter with President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan, where the Master Blaster personally handed over the invitation.
Joined by Anjali, Sara, Arjun, and Sania, Sachin posted nostalgic snapshots on X. Referencing a prior February hosted event, he wrote about refreshing fond memories while extending the invite. ‘Grateful for your wishes, President,’ his caption read, capturing the emotional depth of the visit.
The day unfolded with back-to-back meetings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi received the family graciously, blessing the couple with words of wisdom that Sachin publicly thanked him for. Home Minister Amit Shah’s session was equally touching, filled with family warmth that Sachin highlighted online.
Adding an interesting layer, the family also met Rahul Gandhi, showcasing their cross-party appeal. These interactions reflect Sachin’s stature as a unifying figure in Indian public life.
Turning to the bride-to-be, Sania Chandok, 26-year-old Arjun’s fiancée, comes from Mumbai’s elite Ghai clan. Owners of luxury hospitality ventures including InterContinental and Brooklyn Creamery, her family boasts deep business roots. Sania herself directs Mr. Paws Pet Spa, merging pet care with high society.
Arjun’s cricketing resume shines bright. A left-arm medium-pacer and batsman, he’s delivered for Goa: 48 first-class wickets, 620 runs; 25 List A wickets, 155 runs. IPL highlights include a 2023 debut for KKR after MI selection, with 3 wickets in 5 games. His LSG auction pick for 2026 signals rising stardom.
This wedding isn’t just a family event; it’s a cultural milestone. As invitations circulate among the elite, expect nationwide interest in how cricket’s first family celebrates love and legacy.
