An old video of Sara Tendulkar has resurfaced online, offering a glimpse of her close friendship with Saaniya Chandhok, who recently got engaged to Sara’s brother, Arjun Tendulkar. The clip, originally shared by Sara in a collaborative post on August 2023, shows the two along with a friend enjoying a day out at Kew Little Pigs Farm in the United Kingdom. The farm, which describes itself as “a multi award-winning miniature pig farm with a variety of unique experiences,” allows visitors to feed and play with animals in its petting pens. In the video, the trio can be seen petting piglets and sheep, feeding them, and posing for pictures with the animals. Captioned “Three little piggies went on an adventure,” the vlog gave yet another sneak peek into the close relationship between Sara and Arjun Tendulkar’s fiancée Saaniya. The video has now gained attention following the news of Saaniya’s engagement to Arjun Tendulkar earlier this week. The 25-year-old cricketer, son of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, formalised his relationship with Saaniya in a private ceremony on August 13, attended by close friends and family. The resurfaced clip underlines how long Saaniya has been part of the Tendulkar family circle, even before her engagement. Sara’s post from last year reflects the bond the two shared, which has now taken on greater significance.

Saaniya, 26, is the granddaughter of businessman Ravi Ghai and belongs to a family with strong ties to India’s food and hospitality sector. The Ghai family’s Graviss Group manages Baskin Robbins’ India operations and owns The Brooklyn Creamery. Graviss Food Solutions Private Limited reported revenues of ₹624 crore for FY23-24.
