Olympic badminton star PV Sindhu recently tied the knot to entrepreneur Venkata Datta Sai. The private ceremony took place in Udaipur.
Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, is 29 years old and hails from Hyderabad.
Her impressive career includes a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and a silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The groom, Venkata Datta Sai, is an executive director at Posidex Technologies.
PV Sindhu delighted fans with her wedding pictures.
The wedding took place on Sunday, adhering to traditional customs, and was attended by close family and friends.
Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, shared the first official wedding photo on ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, the following Monday.
“Pleased to have attended the wedding ceremony of our Badminton Champion Olympian PV Sindhu with Venkatta Datta Sai in Udaipur last evening and conveyed my wishes & blessings to the couple for their new life ahead.”
The wedding festivities commenced with a vibrant Sangeet ceremony on December 20th. The event featured music and dance, bringing both families together in celebration.
Traditional pre-wedding rituals such as Haldi, Pellikuthuru, Mehendi, and other customs followed on December 21st.
Sindhu’s wedding celebrations followed shortly after her victory at the Syed Modi International tournament in Lucknow earlier that month. This win marked the end of a period without a title for the badminton star.
Sindhu is considered one of India’s most accomplished athletes.
Her achievements include five medals at the BWF World Championships, one of which is a gold, in addition to her two Olympic medals.
