Throwback! When PV Sindhu revealed what she wants in her partner – WATCH

New Delhi: Indian shuttler Pusarla Venkata Sindhu’s wedding news has been doing rounds on the internet after her family revealed that the Hyderabad-based shuttler is all set to tie the knot with Venkatta Datta Sai, who is the Executive Director in the city’s Posidex Technologies.

The marriage will take place on December 22 in Udaipur, though the pre-wedding functions will start on December 20 and the reception will be held on December 24 in Hyderabad. PV Ramana, father of the stylish Indian athlete, said that the two families knew each other already but the final decision for the wedding came a month ago.

Sindhu wasn’t sure about her marriage plans till a year ago with her complete focus being dedicated towards her sports with the mission to extend her Olympics career in a third appearance in Paris, though it wasn’t fruition as her previous two campaigns in Rio (silver medal in 2016) and Tokyo (bronze medal in 2016).

Sindhu’s Post-Olympic Marriage Plans and Future

In a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia uploaded last year on ‘TRS Clips’, the double-Olympic medallist said that she had no marriage plans until the Olympic Games, but was open for the possibility for a later period. In that freewheeling chat, Sindhu was asked about what she would want from her partner. To which, the player responded:

“I would want a pure heart (and) pure soul. For me, it’s not that I need a rich guy…. I need this and that (sic). I would want someone who is pure from here (placing her hands on heart),” she said. At that point, the player kept repeating that ‘if it (marriage) has to happen it will happen.’

Sindhu had rejected the notion that an athlete partner would be an idol choice for her, citing ego issues with share of advantages and disadvantages.

 

PV Sindhu recently ended her more-than-two-year-long title drought with the Syed Modi International 300 triumph in Lucknow. Indian badminton star PV Sindhu is set to marry Venkatta Datta Sai, Executive Director at Posidex Technologies, on December 22nd in Udaipur.
