Saaniya is also the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, who is the chairman of the Graviss Group. The Graviss Group is a big name in the hospitality and food-and-beverage industry in the city from which both Arjun and Saaniya hail.
The Ghai family heads an organisation with ventures such as the famous Kwality ice cream, established under family patriarch I.K.

Saaniya Chandok also seemingly close friends with Sara Tendulkar
As well as being a Director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa, an Instagram post by the company indicates that Saaniya is also the founder of the company, having studied and graduated from the London School of Economics. That post also indicates that Saaniya received a Veterinary Technician diploma from the Worldwide Veterinary Service in late 2024.
Eagle-eyed netizens also uncovered recent pictures of Arjun's sister, Sara Tendulkar, clicking selfies alongside Saaniya during a trip to Jaipur earlier this year and attending some IPL matches with Sara in recent seasons.
Saaniya's public profile is largely under wraps, which reflects how she and Arjun decided to celebrate their engagement. According to multiple media reports, the pair held a function restricted to close family and friends, with neither family having released official statements at the moment.
Amid reports of his engagement, Arjun Tendulkar continues to forge a cricket career and live up to his father's incredible legacy. He currently plays as a left-arm seamer and represents Goa at the domestic level, while also appearing for IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, playing 5 matches for the franchise in 2023 and 2024.

'Apoorva Mukhija has no concern for the fact that I'm hurt': Sufi Motiwala reveals why they are not friends anymore
Apoorva Mukhija and Sufi Motiwala became friends on the reality show The Traitors, and they even collaborated on a storytime video on her YouTube channel. However, many noticed that Sufi did not include any mention of Apoorva in his latest Instagram reel. The two of them are among a select few content creators who were in Australia for a Stranger Things event. Sufi has now clarified the speculation about their friendship and admitted that they are no longer friends. Sufi Motiwala has broken his silence on the comments about his bond with Apoorva Mukhija. What Sufi said about The Rebel Kid Sufi took to his Instagram Stories and wrote, 'No more lies. I've received a lot of texts saying that I've taken clout from Apoorva and I've left her. I've literally never collaborated on a reel with her and have been on her YouTube twice, both of which were her content pieces entirely. So no I'm not sorry I didn't use her for clout (incase u forgot we were on the same show without knowing each other I don't need her clout) I wanted to be friends with Apoorva not the rebel kid when there was no accountability constantly for how I was being treated I distanced myself." Sufi via Instagram Stories. 'I'm not friends with her anymore' He added, "I even requested her to ask her audience to calm down because they've been abusing me for no reason. Sadly this person who called me her best friend has no concern for that and or the fact that maybe I'm hurt. THAT is why I'm not friends with her anymore. Keep it cute keep it moving.' He concluded, 'Idc about anything u think I'm a horrible person ok. But I have worked my a** off to build myself to where I am and I won't let a bunch of children discredit that by spreading misinformation.' Apoorva has not spoken about this matter on her social media accounts as of yet. Both Apoorva and Sufi became close friends during their stint on The Traitors. Sufi had previously supported Apoorva after another contestant, Sudhanshu Pandey, criticised her for using abusive language and her behaviour towards others on the show. Even during the controversy of India's Got Latent, Sufi had stood in support of Apoorva after she received heavy backlash and media scrutiny.

Shubman Gill unlikely for Asia Cup squad as Ajit Agarkar all set to reward Shreyas Iyer: Report
Ajit Agarkar and the rest of the All India Men's Senior Selection Committee will convene on Tuesday, August 19, to pick the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup. Suryakumar Yadav has cleared the fitness Test and is all set to lead India in the eight-team tournament, beginning September 9. There are several major decisions in front of the selectors. However, the biggest question is whether there can be a place for Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. The selectors will pick the Asia Cup squad on Tuesday, August 19. (AFP) Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma have made the most of their chances in the shortest format. Hence, there are no grounds for dropping them. However, Shubman Gill (Test captain) and Jaiswal are two of the biggest names in Indian cricket right now. Hence, it needs to be seen whether the selectors are willing to take a brave call and keep the duo out for now. According to a report in Sportstar, the selectors are all set to make a bold call and leave Gill and Jaiswal out of the squad for the Asia Cup. Ajit Agarkar is all set to retain the core group that has excelled under Gambhir in T20Is recently. The Asia Cup ends on September 28, and the first Test against the West Indies begins on October 2. Considering the turnaround period, the selectors are likely to keep Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal fresh for the red-ball assignments. The same report states that Shreyas Iyer and Jitesh Sharma are likely to earn call-ups into the Asia Cup squad. In IPL 2025, Jitesh Sharma impressed one and all with his big-hitting exploits for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who won their maiden title. Also Read: Shubman Gill for Asia Cup may look tempting, but it could severely backfire on Team India in more ways than one Shreyas Iyer led Punjab Kings to the IPL final, but they fell short against RCB in the summit clash. Neither Jitesh nor Shreyas has played in T20Is since Gautam Gambhir took over as the head coach. Shreyas last played a T20I in December 2023, while Jitesh made his last appearance in January 2024. Why pick Shreyas Iyer? According to the report, the selectors want an experienced middle-order batter in the conditions of the UAE for the Asia Cup. Hence, Shreyas Iyer is all but set to be picked. It must be mentioned that the right-handed batter played a crucial role in the UAE in the Champions Trophy 2025, which India eventually won after beating New Zealand in the summit clash. If Shreyas is indeed picked, then one between Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh might have to be dropped. Both Dube and Rinku were part of India's squad for the five-match T20I series against England in January 2025. Suryakumar Yadav will be attending the selection meeting for the Asia Cup. The tournament will begin on September 9 with India playing their first match on September 10 against the UAE. India are placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE and Oman.

Neeraj Chopra (PTI Photo) Neeraj Chopra has secured his position in the men's javelin throw event at the Diamond League 2025 Final in Zurich, Switzerland. This confirmation comes from the latest standings released after the Silesia leg on Saturday. Despite not participating in the Silesia Diamond League, Chopra's 15 points from two Diamond League appearances this season have guaranteed his spot in the finale. The championship-deciding men's javelin final is scheduled for August 28. The 27-year-old Indian athlete has demonstrated exceptional performance this year. He won the Paris leg with an 88.16m throw and achieved a national record of 90.23m in Doha, where he finished second to Germany's Julian Weber. Chopra and Weber are currently tied at 15 points in second place. Keshorn Walcott from Trinidad and Tobago leads the standings with 17 points from three events, including a second-place finish in Silesia with 82.54m. The Zurich final is likely to feature two-time world champion Anderson Peters and Brazil's Luiz Mauricio Da Silva among the competitors. Chopra, who won the Diamond League trophy in 2022 and was runner-up in 2023 and 2024, has not yet officially confirmed his participation in the Zurich Final. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, the Paris 2024 Olympics gold medalist, has chosen not to participate in this year's Diamond League circuit. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.
