Two-time Olympic medallist shuttler PV Sindhu will marry on December 22 in Udaipur. The former world champion who broke her long title winning streak at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow on Sunday has announced that she will tie knot with Hyderabad-based Venkata Datta Sai who serves as executive director of the firm, Posidex Technologies.
"The two families knew each other but it was just last month that everything crystallised. This was the only feasible time frame as her itinerary is going to be full on from January," PV Ramana, Sindhu's father, told PTI.
"So that is the reason the two families decided to have the marriage ceremony on December 22. The reception will be held in Hyderabad on December 24. She will start her training soon after as the next season is going to be important."
The wedding-related events will begin on December 20.
Sindhu is considered one of India's best athletes with five world championship medals, including a gold in 2019, besides her silver and bronze at the Olympic Games.
The champion badminton player won back-to-back Olympic medals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 and achieved a career-high world ranking of No. 2 in 2017.
