NEW DELHI: Ace India shuttler and two-time Olympics medallist PV Sindhu on Saturday got engaged to Venkata Datta Sai in what looked like an intimate ceremony.
Sindhu is set to tie the knot with Hyderabad-based Venkata on December 22 in Udaipur and on Saturday shared an adorable photo of her engagement ceremony on social media.
Along with a heartwarming photo that had ‘Miss to Mrs’ caption on the board in the backdrop, Sindhu wrote. “When love beckons to you, follow him, for love gives naught but itself.” – Kahlil Gibran, in the post.
The news of Sindhu getting married came out soon after the former world champion ended a long title drought with victory at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow last month.
Sindhu’s fiancee Venkata is an executive director at Posidex Technologies.
The wedding-related events are set to begin from December 20 onwards.
“The two families knew each other but it was only a month ago that everything was finalised. This was the only possible window as her schedule will be hectic from January,” Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana had earlier told news agency 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.”
Sindhu has five world championship medals, including a gold in 2019, besides her silver and bronze at the Olympic Games.
