Sara Tendulkar recently shared a glimpse of the emotional and vibrant celebrations surrounding the wedding of her brother Arjun Tendulkar to entrepreneur Saaniya Chandhok. Posting a series of photos on Instagram on March 12, Sara described the occasion as the “happiest day” of her life.
The images captured moments from the wedding festivities, including her elaborate mehendi design and elegant wedding attire.
Sara Tendulkar’s intricate mehendi design
During the mehendi ceremony, Sara opted for a detailed henna design that blended traditional Indian patterns with contemporary styling. The design covered her palms and extended up her forearms.
The artwork featured intricate circular motifs along with lotus and rose-inspired elements flowing through the fingers. Fine mesh-style patterns decorated the back of her hands, creating a layered and delicate appearance typical of elaborate bridal and celebratory mehendi styles.
Alongside the photos, Sara wrote an emotional message congratulating the newlyweds, expressing her happiness about her brother beginning a new chapter in life.
Elegant wedding look in Manish Malhotra
For the wedding ceremony held on March 5, Sara chose a custom rose-pink bandhani saree designed by Manish Malhotra. The saree featured a refined rosette-style cutwork border enhanced with intricate zardozi and resham embroidery.
She paired it with a hot pink silk blouse decorated with multicolour zardozi work along the sleeves and neckline. The blouse also featured a stylish cut-out back with signature tassel detailing.
Sara completed the look with heritage jewellery, including a meenakari necklace embellished with polki diamonds, emeralds and pearls. A statement maang tikka, ear chains and stacked bangles added to the traditional aesthetic.
Her beauty look remained soft and natural with glowing makeup, defined brows and glossy lips. She styled her hair in a half-updo with a centre parting to highlight the jewellery.
Wedding celebrations blending traditions
The wedding celebrations of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok combined elements of both Maharashtrian and Punjabi traditions.
The festivities began with a lively Punjabi-themed mehendi ceremony held at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, where the event featured colourful phulkari décor, interactive gifting stalls and a range of North Indian cuisine.
The main wedding ceremony later took place at the luxurious The St. Regis Mumbai. A specially designed 270-degree mandap decorated with baby’s breath flowers and muted gold tones formed the centrepiece of the venue.
One of the highlights of the evening was a traditional Maharashtrian pangat meal, where guests were served authentic regional dishes in a seated dining arrangement.
Star-studded guest list
The wedding attracted several prominent personalities from the worlds of cricket and entertainment. Among those in attendance were members of the Ambani family, cricketers like MS Dhoni and Sunil Gavaskar, as well as Bollywood figures including Shah Rukh Khan and members of the Amitabh Bachchan family.
Sara’s heartfelt post and the glimpses from the celebrations offered fans a closer look at one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.
