The pink carpet at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) was bathed in elegance on April 3 as the Mumbai venue celebrated its third anniversary. Among the galaxy of stars – from Ranveer Singh to Salman Khan – the Tendulkar family made a regal entrance, but it was the striking coordination between Sara Tendulkar and her new sister-in-law, Saaniya Chandhok, that stole the spotlight.

The ‘nanad-bhabhi’ duo opted for a synchronised fashion moment, proving that their bond is as stylish as it is close. Both Sara and Saaniya donned shimmery, heavily embellished palazzo sets that perfectly balanced traditional craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes. The chemistry between Sara and Saaniya comes as no surprise to those who followed the grand nuptials of Arjun and Saaniya. Saaniya has been a close friend of Sara’s for years. In fact, Sara is often credited as the ‘cupid’ who introduced the couple.
What did Sara Tendulkar, Saaniya Chandhok wear?
Sara Tendulkar radiated grace in a pale green ensemble. Her short kurta featured intricate silver embroidery and was paired with matching flared palazzos that shimmered under the lights. Saaniya Chandhok complemented Sara in a nearly identical silhouette, opting for a soft lime-yellow hue. Her outfit boasted similar mirror-work and sequin detailing, tied together with a dainty silver handbag.
The two kept their hair in effortless loose waves and chose minimal jewellery, letting the high-shine texture of their outfits do the talking. Also read | Who is Saaniya Chandhok? Meet Arjun Tendulkar’s wife and Sachin Tendulkar’s ‘bahu’: Details about her family, profession
What did Anjali and Sachin Tendulkar wear?
Sachin Tendulkar looked dapper in a dark bandhgala paired with white trousers, while Anjali Tendulkar epitomised timeless elegance in a black kurta set featuring vivid floral embroidery and a contrasting red dupatta.
This appearance marked one of the first major public outings for the family since Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok tied the knot in a grand ceremony on March 5, 2026, even though Arjun was notably absent from the NMACC carpet.
A highlight of the evening captured by photographers was the warm interaction between the Tendulkars and Nita Ambani. The hostess was seen sharing an affectionate moment with the family, giving Saaniya a welcoming hug as she was introduced during her debut NMACC appearance as a member of the Tendulkar family.
On March 5, 2026, Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Mumbai. The guest list was a who’s who of India, featuring MS Dhoni, the Ambani family, and Bollywood royalty like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.
