Indian badminton legend PV Sindhu is ready to embark on an exciting new journey, both on and off the court.
The two-time Olympic medallist is set to marry Venkata Datta Sai, a Hyderabad-based executive director at Posidex Technologies, on December 22.
The wedding will take place in the picturesque city of Udaipur, known for its regal charm and romantic ambiance.
As reported by PTI, the celebration marks the union of two well-respected families and a joyous moment in Sindhu’s remarkable life.
A Wedding to Remember
The Sindhu and Datta Sai families have long known each other, but the decision to tie the knot was finalized just a month ago. Speaking to the media, Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana, expressed his delight:
“The two families knew each other, but it was only recently that everything was finalized. With Sindhu’s hectic schedule starting in January, December was the only possible window for the wedding.”
The grand wedding festivities will kick off on December 20, culminating in the ceremony on December 22.
A lavish reception will follow in Hyderabad on December 24, allowing family, friends, and fans to celebrate the badminton star’s new beginning.

Her determination to continue competing at the highest level speaks volumes about her passion for the sport.
A Triumph After a Challenging Phase
Sindhu’s recent victory at the Syed Modi International badminton tournament was a much-needed morale boost.
Ending a long title drought, she dominated China’s Wu Luo Yu in the final, securing a convincing 21-14, 21-16 win. This marked her third women’s singles title at the tournament, with previous wins in 2017 and 2022.
Reflecting on the triumph, Sindhu said:
“This win has given me a lot of confidence. After a challenging phase, it feels incredible to stand on the podium again. It’s a reminder that hard work and perseverance always pay off.”
Planning Ahead with Wisdom and Experience
At 29, Sindhu believes her experience is her greatest asset. Having faced and conquered countless challenges in her illustrious career, she is now focusing on playing smarter and making calculated decisions about her tournaments.
“Being 29 is an advantage because I have so much experience. It’s about being smart and picking the right tournaments. I’ll be competing in upcoming events in Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and Thailand, but I’ll make sure to choose wisely to avoid burnout.”
This strategic approach underscores her maturity as an athlete and her dedication to extending her incredible career.
