Their love story mirrors Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar's age gap of five years, but that's not uncommon for athletes. Sanniya Chandhok, 26, and Arjun Tendulkar, 25, are set to marry, as per reports. Despite the age gap being on the lesser side, their story mirrors many other athletes' love stories.

Age differences between athletes and their partners are usually overlooked due to their accelerated maturity. Despite being younger than him, Sanniya Chandhok, too, seems to be a mature and accomplished person. She is the daughter of Vicky Chandhok, a former driver who competed in the Formula 3 championship in the early 2000s.

Arjun Tendulkar is widely followed as the son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. He himself is a promising young cricketer who played for India in the U-19 team. He is currently a left-arm pacer in the Mumbai Ranji Trophy team.

Unlike many believe, age gaps of up to 10 years don't necessarily pose compatibility challenges, provided both partners are aware and affectionate. Research suggests that age gaps less than five years don't affect the likelihood of divorce, while gaps between 10 and 20 years are up to 39% more likely to end in separation. Despite this, when the older partner is male, the likelihood of divorce decreases by 20%.

When asked about their children's marriages, Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar, themselves, had advised them to choose their partners wisely. "We want our children to marry the right person. Not based on caste, religion, or social status. We want them to marry the person who makes them happy. That's all we want," the Tendulkars said in an interview.

The road to true love can be challenging for athletes, particularly those in cricket, constantly away from home. Still, Arjun Tendulkar's love story seems to be one 'smooth' affair, mirroring his legendary father's footsteps.
