A video of entrepreneur Sara Tendulkar delivering a moving speech for her new sister-in-law, Saaniya Chandhok, has taken social media by storm. Speaking at a pre-wedding function for her brother, cricketer Arjun Tendulkar, Sara’s heartfelt words highlighted the deep bond she shares with the new addition to the Tendulkar family.
Arjun and Saaniya officially tied the knot on March 5, 2026, in a grand Mumbai ceremony.
“The Sister I Always Wanted”
Sara, dressed in a traditional lehenga with a classic paranda hairstyle, became emotional as she welcomed Saaniya:
- Sisterhood over Title: Sara told the guests, “Saaniya, you are the sister I always wanted but never had… Truly more like a sister to me than a sister-in-law.”
- A Long-Standing Bond: Echoing her mother Anjali Tendulkar’s sentiments, Sara noted that Saaniya had already been a part of their family for years, making the official transition seamless.
- A Message to the Groom: Turning to Arjun, she called him her “whole entire heart” before jokingly entrusting that heart to Saaniya, asking her to “look after him and cherish him.”
