Sachin vs Arjun Tendulkar engagement
One of the most complete batters of his time, Sachin Tendulkar is an institution when talking about batsmanship. Known as the God of Cricket, he had already become a household name by the time of his engagement to Anjali Mehta in April 1994, on his 21st birthday. Meanwhile, his son, Arjun Tendulkar, has also taken up the same sport as his legendary father and recently made headlines by getting engaged to Saaniya Chandok, granddaughter of prominent Mumbai industrialist Ravi Ghai, on August 13, 2025.
Sachin Tendulkar's Net Worth at time of engagement
By 1994, Sachin Tendulkar had already made a big impact in the game. Debuting at just 16 in 1989, he scored his first Test hundred at 17 against England and went on to dominate the best bowling attacks in the world. Between 1989 and 1994, Tendulkar had already played 35 Test matches and 90 ODIs, scoring 2425 and 2768 runs, with 11 centuries to his name. Meanwhile, off the field, Sachin was breaking records in sports marketing. In 1995, shortly after his marriage, he signed an INR 30 crore five-year contract with WorldTel, a record deal that changed sports endorsements in India and made him one of the highest-paid athletes in the country. He soon collaborated with top brands like Adidas, Pepsi, MRF, and Philips, and his commercial dominance grew rapidly. While exact net worth figures were not publicly disclosed then, his endorsements and BCCI match fees already placed him in the top tier of India’s richest sportspersons.

On the other hand, Arjun is still making his name. The left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder began playing in Mumbai’s junior teams before moving to Goa in 2022 for more opportunities. He made his first-class and List A debuts that year and has since represented Goa in domestic cricket. So far, Arjun has played 17 first-class games, scoring 532 runs with one century and two fifties, and taken 37 wickets, including one five-wicket haul. In List A cricket, he has 102 runs and 25 wickets from 18 matches, while in T20s, he has scored 119 runs and claimed 27 wickets across 24 games.
His first big contract came in the IPL when he was picked by the Mumbai Indians in 2021 for INR 20 lakh, but missed the season due to injury. In the following year, he was acquired for INR 30 lakh. The southpaw made his debut in 2023 and has since played five matches, taking three wickets and scoring 13 runs. His IPL earnings so far stand at approximately INR 1.2 crore. From domestic cricket, he earns around INR 10 lakh annually, and his estimated net worth is about INR 22 crore, which includes the value of living in the family’s Bandra home purchased by Sachin in 2007 for INR 39 crore.

Sachin-Anjali and Arjun-Saaniya engagements
Sachin’s engagement to Anjali Mehta in 1994 was a national talking point. Their love story, often spoken of as a love-at-first-sight story, grabbed immense public eyeballs. Anjali, who is a qualified doctor, has been a constant support throughout Sachin’s career. Notably, Anjali had put her dreams aside to support her husband's cricket career.
Meanwhile, Arjun’s engagement to Saaniya Chandok was a private affair, attended only by close family and friends. Saaniya belongs to one of Mumbai’s most prominent business families, with her grandfather, Ravi Ghai, being the owner of the InterContinental hotel and ice-cream brand Brooklyn Creamery. Chandok herself is an entrepreneur as she owns Mr Paws, a premium pet salon spa, and store in Mumbai
