Sara Tendulkar pens heartfelt note for mom Anjali Tendulkar on her big day

Dubai: Sara Tendulkar has penned a heartfelt birthday note for her mother Anjali Tendulkar, marking the Tendulkar family's special occasion on Tuesday. The 29-year-old shared her wish on social media, describing her mother as her closest companion and a vital part of her life. "Happy birthday to my soulmate, LOML and partner in everything. I am because you are," Sara wrote.

Sachin Tendulkar also celebrated his wife's birthday on social media, sharing a sweet message, "Home has always meant a little more because you're in it. Happy birthday, Anjali!"

Anjali, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite being married to a cricket icon, met Sachin at Mumbai airport in 1990. They dated for five years before exchanging vows on May 24, 1995, and have two children, Sara and Arjun. Anjali, a paediatrician by profession, stepped away from her medical career to support Sachin during his demanding cricket career.

The former India captain retired in 2013 after a 24-year career, during which he scored 100 international centuries and won the 2011 ODI World Cup. Sara has pursued a different path, completing a Master's in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition and founding a Pilates academy in Mumbai in 2023. The birthday message revealed the close bond between mother and daughter and the role Anjali continues to play in Sara's life.
