Starry Mehendi night

The festivities started on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the elegant Mahalaxmi Racecourse, which turned into a private party spot. The Tendulkar family kept things low-key but glamorous, giving a peek into Arjun and Saaniya’s big celebration. It blended cricket royalty with Mumbai’s top business circles, as per reports from the event.

Cricketing greats like Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar, and the Pathan brothers – Irfan and Yusuf – joined the fun. Sachin Tendulkar personally bid goodbye to political figures Raj and Sharmila Thackeray at the gate, showing strong Mumbai ties. Family shone too: Anjali Tendulkar walked with her father, Anand Mehta, and Sara Tendulkar helped her new sister-in-law, Saaniya, manage the night.

Guests from the entertainment industry

Guests from the entertainment industry also graced the event. Stars like Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Ashutosh Gowariker, with wife Sunita Gowariker, Asha Bhosle, Shah Rukh Khan and others arrived to bless the couple.

Catering by top-notch Gallops mixed Punjabi comfort foods with continental dishes. A special “Sachin Special” section had Maharashtrian and coastal flavours, nodding to the family’s roots. Since Saaniya’s family owns Graviss Group, which runs Baskin-Robbins India, guests loved the premium ice cream dessert station.

Wedding day buzz

Today’s main ceremony, on March 5, 2026, takes place at the St. Regis Hotel in Lower Parel. The spot doubles as a base for the India and England cricket teams ahead of the T20 World Cup semi-final at Wankhede Stadium. Heavy fortress-like security covers the mix of wedding VIPs, including expected guests Mukesh and Nita Ambani, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, and MS Dhoni.

This high-profile event highlights Arjun’s shift from cricket to family life, with Saaniya, a veterinary expert and pet wellness founder, fitting right in. Earlier pre-wedding events, like the Ambanis’ Jamnagar blessing, added emotional touches – Sachin said, “When a son brings a girl home to introduce her, you know that he has matured,” praising the couple’s love. Nita Ambani welcomed Saaniya, noting her “warm and positive energy.”
