The bride-to-be, Saaniya Chand, was captivated by guests in a shimmering beige sequinned lehenga that complemented the celebratory mood.
The evening also witnessed the presence of noted filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who attended with film critic Anupama Chopra and their son Agni Dev Chopra.
Vidhu opted for a cream silk kurta paired with an ivory Nehru jacket and churidar trousers, while Anupama stood out in a vibrant fuchsia kurta styled with a flowing mint-green satin skirt. Agni Dev added youthful flair with a red silk kurta and white trousers.
Cricketing personalities were also seen adding sparkle to the evening. Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh arrived with actor Hazel Keech, both dressed in coordinated black outfits.
Yuvraj wore a black kurta paired with a patterned Nehru jacket, while Hazel complemented the look in an elegant black saree embellished with gold embroidery.

The celebrations had earlier begun in Jamnagar, where the family hosted an intimate pre-wedding gathering at a residence belonging to the family of Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani.
The venue holds sentimental value as it also hosted the wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in 2024.
A video released earlier by the Mumbai Indians offered glimpses of the elegant pre-wedding festivities and heartfelt wishes for the couple.
In the footage, the Ambani family welcomed guests warmly as the Tendulkars expressed gratitude for hosting the celebrations.

As the wedding day approaches, the celebrations continue to bring together close friends, sporting icons and members of India’s cultural and business circles — turning the union of Arjun and Saaniya into a joyous gathering of families and well-wishers.
