Arjun Tendulkar is set to marry Saaniya Chandhok, an entrepreneur and qualified veterinary technician.

He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa in 2022 and scored a century in his maiden first-class match. He was first picked by the Mumbai Indians in 2021 and made his IPL debut in 2023, later being retained for the 2024 season before being traded to Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2026 campaign.
