**Hyderabad, India** – PV Sindhu, India’s celebrated badminton star and two-time Olympic medalist, married Venkata Datta Sai in a private ceremony on December 22nd, 2024. The wedding, a closely-held affair, marks a new chapter for the athlete considered India’s most successful badminton player.
Sindhu, who won silver medals at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, shared photos from the intimate celebration on social media this Wednesday, accompanied by a simple heart emoji. In an interview, she detailed the blossoming of her relationship with Sai, Executive Director at Posidex Technologies in Hyderabad.
Their romance began unexpectedly on a flight in October 2022, Sindhu revealed. “Everything changed when we reconnected on a flight,” she stated. “That journey brought us closer, and it felt like the stars aligned. It was almost like love at first sight.”
The couple’s engagement was equally private, a decision Sindhu explained as a desire to focus on intimacy rather than grandeur. “Our engagement was a deeply intimate affair, attended only by those closest to us,” she said. “It wasn’t about grandeur, but about celebrating this milestone with the people who truly matter.”
Planning the wedding, Sindhu admitted, presented unique challenges given her demanding athletic schedule. However, she meticulously planned every detail, with Sai ensuring her vision became a reality. “Planning our wedding was a beautiful yet challenging journey,” she reflected. “Together, we ran a tight ship and ensured that every aspect of the wedding reflected our story and personalities.” The newlyweds’ future plans remain undisclosed.
