Arjun Tendulkar follows in parents Sachin-Anjali's footsteps following engagement with Saaniya Chandhok

Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, is all set to begin a new chapter in his personal life. The 25-year-old has reportedly got engaged to Sanniya Chandhok, 26, on August 13, 2025.

The age gap between the couple, a little over a year, has already drawn attention because it mirrors Sachin Tendulkar’s own marriage.

The Master Blaster tied the knot with Anjali in 1995, despite her being five years older.

Sachin was born on April 24, 1973, while Anjali was born on November 10, 1967. Their relationship, and enduring bond, was once seen as unconventional but soon became one of Indian cricket’s most admired partnerships.

Arjun, born on September 24, 1999, has been steadily carving out his career in cricket.

A left-arm pacer and lower-order batter, he made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2023. While his career is still in its early stages, his personal life has already taken a decisive turn with his engagement.

Sanniya Chandhok, born on June 23, 1998, is a year older than Arjun.

Reports suggest the couple celebrated their engagement in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family.

Interestingly, Arjun himself is younger than his sister Sara Tendulkar, who is two years older, making the age dynamic within the family a familiar one.

Much like his father, Arjun seems unfazed by societal expectations around age gaps in relationships.

The Tendulkar family, long admired for its grounded approach to fame, appears set to welcome a new member with warmth and celebration.

As Arjun balances the demands of cricket and prepares for a new phase off the field, the parallel with Sachin’s own life journey is hard to miss.

Once again, a Tendulkar son seems ready to walk in his father’s footsteps, this time, in love.
