Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, is stepping into an exciting new phase of life. The 25-year-old cricketer recently got engaged to 26-year-old Sanniya Chandhok on August 13, 2025, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family.
While Arjun is still shaping his cricket career as a left-arm pacer and lower-order batter-having made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2023-his personal life is already creating headlines.
The age gap
What has particularly caught public attention is the age difference between Arjun and Sanniya. Sanniya, born on June 23, 1998, is a little over a year older than Arjun, who was born on September 24, 1999. Though minimal, the age gap has become a talking point as it strikingly reflects his parents’ love story.
Parallels with Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar's love story
Cricket fans can’t help but notice the similarities between Arjun’s engagement and Sachin Tendulkar’s own marriage. When Sachin married Anjali in 1995, their relationship was considered unconventional-Anjali being six years older than him. However, their marriage blossomed into one of Indian cricket’s most cherished partnerships, admired for its strength and longevity.
Just like his father, Arjun seems unbothered by societal chatter around age gaps in relationships. In fact, this shared dynamic within the Tendulkar household makes the bond between Arjun and Sanniya all the more relatable.
Looking ahead
As Arjun continues to balance his cricketing ambitions with his personal commitments, his journey mirrors his father’s in more ways than one. From professional cricket to love beyond conventional age norms, history seems to be repeating itself—this time with Arjun walking in Sachin’s footsteps not just on the field, but also in matters of the heart.
