Many posts suggested this took place during a high-profile "sangeet" ceremony for Arjun Tendulkar.

Fact-Checking the Viral Video

Despite the widespread claims, the video is not from any recent Tendulkar event. The video is from a different wedding celebration attended by Gill. The misuse of the clip appears to have been driven by the intense public interest in Arjun Tendulkar’s wedding and the long-standing social media rumours linking Shubman Gill to Arjun’s sister, Sara Tendulkar. Fan accounts often repurpose older videos of the cricketers during major life events to generate engagement.

Arjun Tendulkar’s Wedding Details

While the dance video is misleading, the Tendulkar family is indeed in the midst of wedding preparations. Arjun Tendulkar is scheduled to marry Saaniya Chandhok, daughter of Sunny and Gaurika Chandhok, on 5 March 2026.

The main festivities are expected to begin on 3 March in Mumbai. However, the family was spotted at Jamnagar airport on 15 February, reportedly for a private pre-wedding gathering hosted in association with the Ambani family at Reliance Greens. Arjun Tendulkar-Saaniya Chandok Wedding: Sachin Tendulkar Invites PM Narendra Modi for His Son’s Wedding Ceremony.

Current Indian cricket stars, including Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, are expected to attend the official ceremonies in March.
