Saaniya Chandhok's Girls Trip Video With Sara Tendulkar Goes Viral Amid Arjun Engagement News
Last Updated: A video has resurfaced showing Sara Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok enjoying a girls-only trip to the beach. Arjun Tendulkar's reported engagement to Saaniya Chandhok has recently stirred up social media. Although neither family has officially confirmed the news, netizens are eagerly discussing the potential new power couple. Arjun, the son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, is not active on social media, but his sister Sara is quite the opposite. With a following of 8.5 million, she is a popular influencer. Ever since the engagement rumours emerged, fans have been flooding her posts, especially those featuring Saaniya, with excitement and curiosity. A video has resurfaced showing Sara and Saaniya enjoying a girls-only trip to the beach. Shared in October 2024, the video has garnered over 60 million views and more than 5 million likes on Instagram. The caption read, 'Table for Three." The video highlights the strong bond between Sara and Saaniya. As reports of the latter's engagement made headlines, interest in Saaniya grew, who works as a veterinary technician in Mumbai. After old photos of her with Arjun Tendulkar and his family resurfaced online, a new video has emerged showing Saaniya attending a private family gathering. The occasion was the launch of Sara Tendulkar's Pilates Academy in Andheri, Mumbai—an extension of her already successful Dubai venture. Saaniya Chandhok is reportedly the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, whose family has established itself in the hospitality and food industries. The family owns the InterContinental hotel and the popular ice cream brand Brooklyn Creamery. According to reports, she is a Designated Partner and Director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, based in Mumbai.

His net worth is estimated at around ₹22 crore, with a major share of his earnings coming from the IPL. Mumbai Indians first picked him up in 2021 at his base price of ₹20 lakh and later retained him in 2022 for ₹30 lakh. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
