The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in BKC was transformed into a glittering constellation of stars on Friday, April 3, 2026, as it celebrated its third anniversary.
The gala event drew the crème de la crème of Bollywood, sports, and business, but it was the intimate, “unseen” moments that have since taken the internet by storm. Among the most talked-about highlights was a heartwarming exchange between hostess Nita Ambani and the Tendulkar family, specifically her affectionate welcome for Sachin Tendulkar’s new daughter-in-law, Saaniya Chandhok.
Saaniya, who recently tied the knot with cricketer Arjun Tendulkar in a high-profile ceremony on March 5, 2026, made her debut appearance as a member of the Tendulkar family at the cultural hub.
Dressed in a shimmering lime-yellow embellished palazzo set—twinning with her ‘nanad’ Sara Tendulkar—Saaniya was seen receiving a warm hug and a protective pat from Nita Ambani, a gesture that netizens have hailed as the epitome of grace and “parivaar” values. The Tendulkars, including Sachin and Anjali, appeared in high spirits, marking one of their first major public family outings since the wedding.
The energy of the night shifted from elegant to electric when Dhurandhar superstar Ranveer Singh took to the floor. Fresh off the massive success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Ranveer was captured on camera dancing with his trademark infectious energy to the live performances of musical maestros Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal.
The stage also saw legendary acts by Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa, and Rajasthani folk icon Mame Khan. Even Salman Khan, known for his reserved presence at such galas, surprised fans by taking center stage to praise the Ambani family’s contribution to Indian arts and culture.
