Indian badminton legend, PV Sindhu, is set to embark on an exciting journey that again takes her on and off the court.
The two-time Olympic medallist is ready to marry Venkata Datta Sai, an executive director in the company Posidex Technologies, on December 22.
The wedding is planned for the beautiful city of Udaipur, known for its regal charm and romantic setting.
The celebration, according to PTI, represents the coming together of two very respected families and is a moment of happiness in Sindhu’s great life.
A wedding to remember
The two families had known each other for quite some time, but the wedding was decided just a month before the date. Speaking to the media, Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana, expressed his happiness by saying,
“Both the families knew each other but it was finalised just a few days ago. Because with Sindhu’s busy schedule starting in January, December was really the only possible window for the wedding.”
The wedding festivities will start on December 20 and conclude with the marriage on December 22.
Then there will be this grand reception in Hyderabad on December 24, for all the family friends, and fans to celebrate the new beginning of the badminton star.
Balancing love alongside badminton
While most of her attention is on wedding preparations, Sindhu does not intend to let go of her career. The champion, with an eye on the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, will not be slowed down post-marriage.
As she puts it:
“This is just the beginning of a new chapter in my personal life, but my commitment to badminton remains unwavering. I am definitely going to play for the next couple of years.”
Indeed, just the very comment regarding her future setup speaks volumes about her passion for the sport.
A win after difficult times
Sindhu’s latest triumph in the 2014 Syed Modi International badminton championships must have refreshed her spirits.
Ending quite a long title drought, she clinched the final tie against China’s Wu Luo Yu, stamping a 21-14, 21-16 victory in her name. With this, Sindhu has become the first Indian woman to earn her third title at this tournament after winning the events in 2017 and 2022.
After a win, she reflected:
“This win has given me a lot of confidence. It feels really great standing on the podium now after having gone through all those tough times. It really speaks that hard work and perseverance do bear fruit.”
Plan Wisely and Experience Well
To 29-year-old Sindhu, experience is her biggest asset. She has faced and conquered many challenges in her glorious career, making her turn toward playing smartly and making well-considered decisions about her tournaments.
“Being 29 is definitely an advantage because I have so much experience. It’s about being smart and picking the right tournaments. I’ll be competing in the upcoming events in Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and Thailand, but I’ll make sure to choose wisely to avoid burnout.”
Indeed, this shows how mature an athlete is, as well as how committed she is to having an extremely long career.
A Legacy that Inspires Millions
There is never any monotony in the life of PV Sindhu. Being a silver medalist in the Rio Olympics in 2016 and later running away with the bronze from Tokyo 2020, she has put India right on the global map of badminton.
Earning gold in the World Championships in 2019 sits right next to her claim to fame of being ranked No. 2 in the world in 2017, making her one of the greatest athletes in the history of India.
Five medals at the World Championships are a testament to her consistency, with Sindhu’s personality shining through her ability to remain humble despite such monumental fame. She truly is loved.
Fan Reactions
With the announcement of the wedding, the buzz around Sindhu’s wedding has been in full swing across India and beyond. There has been a media flurry of congratulatory posts from fans and fellow sports celebrities all about her happiness and the dedication she has shown toward this sport.
A fan on Twitter wrote, “Wishing our champion PV Sindhu all the happiness as she begins this beautiful new journey. Can’t wait to see her shine on the court again!”
Some have praised her ability to juggle a stressful career with her personal life.
“Every young athlete should know that Sindhu is a true role model. She shows us how to strike the right balance in life,” said a badminton fan on Instagram.
What A Scene Ahead For the 2028 Olympics
While Sindhu walks down the aisle, she’s Prime on setting sights for the real extreme push in her badminton career. The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is the final target, and she has put everything on it.
“It’s going to be a very important next season. Straight after the wedding, I will be back to training because the Olympics is my priority. I am ready to work harder than ever,” she shared with her usual determination.
