Sara Tendulkar Calls Arjun’s Wedding a Trial Run for Hers

Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter Sara Tendulkar has shared candid thoughts on love, marriage, and family in a recent interview, describing her brother Arjun’s March wedding to Saaniya Chandhok as a valuable preview of what she wants for her own big day. Arjun, who Sara fondly called a “cricket boy” uninterested in wedding logistics, left much of the planning to the women in the family, giving Sara a front-row seat to the process.

A Change of Heart on Bridal Style

Sara admitted her vision for her own wedding has shifted. Once set on a large celebration and a pastel bridal outfit, she now leans toward something smaller, possibly in traditional red — though she jokingly admitted her indecisiveness as a Libra leaves the final choice open, even hinting green could be an option.

Beyond the wedding talk, Sara reflected on how Gen Z approaches relationships differently from earlier generations. She noted that many young people today are more willing to walk away from a relationship once warning signs appear, even close to a wedding, rather than pushing through out of fear or obligation. She sees this willingness to prioritize personal wellbeing as an empowering shift.

Parents as Relationship Role Models

Sara credited her parents, Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar, as her biggest influence on what healthy partnership looks like. She described their bond as rooted in genuine friendship, free of any visible power imbalance, and shaped by resilience through years of long-distance living during Sachin’s playing career, long before video calls made staying connected easier.

Sara also touched on friendship, saying her closest friends hold a place in her life just as significant as any future romantic partner — calling them her true soulmates.
