Legendary Team India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared a post on his official social media handle in which he extended his son Arjun's wedding invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"We were honoured to invite Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi
ji to Arjun and Saaniya's wedding. Thank you, Modi ji, for your blessings and thoughtful advice for the young couple," read the post's caption.
Earlier, according to several media reports, Arjun is set to marry his fiancée, Saaniya Chandhok, on March 5 this year.
Saaniya is also the granddaughter of Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai. Earlier, both families decided to maintain silence regarding the engagement, which in turn led to speculations about the ceremony.

During the session, a user asked the veteran of Indian cricket, "Did Arjun really get engaged?" on which the former cricketer responded, "Yes, he did, and we are really excited for the new phase in his life".
The engagement ceremony was a private event and was attended by only the close family members and friends, according to reports.
