==Education and marriages==<br />
<br />
Tendulkar received the Toppiwala scholarship which allowed him to gain admission into a British university, but he was not quite ready to begin his studies. As a result, he decided to study French at the [[Ecole Normale Superieure]] in Paris.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/talking-terms/the-singular-destiny-of-ayi-tendulkar/|work=The Times of India|accessdate=11 February 2018|title=The singular destiny of Ayi Tendulkar|author=Padgaonkar, Dileep}}</ref><br />

Tendulkar's first wife was Sasha Alexandra Passini, a Russian whom he met in Paris in 1924. After they separated, Passini married an Italian man.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freepressjournal.in/book-reviews/in-the-shadow-of-freedom/158088|work=The Free Press Journal|accessdate=11 February 2018|title=In The Shadow of Freedom|author=BHANDARI, PRAKASH}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tendulkar then married German actress Eva Schubring, the daughter of one of his professors. Their marriage ended once Tendulkar began a romantic relationship with filmmaker [[Thea von Harbou]], who was married to [[Fritz Lang]]. Their relationship was part of the motivation for von Harbou's divorce from Lang.<ref>{{cite book |last=Tendulkar Dhaul |first=Laxmi |authorlink=Laxmi Tendulkar Dhaul |date=2014 |title=In the Shadow of Freedom: Three Lives in Hitler's Berlin and Gandhi's India |edition=1st |publisher=Zubaan |isbn=9383074272}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tendulkar's fourth wife was Indumati Gunaji. They met in India, when both were involved in [[Gandhi]]'s campaign against British rule. Their daughter, Laxmi Tendulkar Dhaul, wrote a book about her parents and von Harbou.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freepressjournal.in/book-reviews/in-the-shadow-of-freedom/158088|work=The Free Press Journal|accessdate=11 February 2018|title=In The Shadow of Freedom|author=BHANDARI, PRAKASH}}</ref><br />
