The celebrations are not over yet as the couple will be hosting a reception party in Sindhu’s hometown, Hyderabad on December 24.
On December 20, a Sangeet took place and on the next day there Haldi, Pellikuthuru and Mehendi took place.
Talking about the wedding, Sindhu’s father had stated that the two families are well acquainted with each other, but the wedding plans came together within a month. The couple chose this date since Sindhu will be busy with training and competitions starting next year.
Recently, Sindhu ended her Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour drought of over two years by defeating China’s Wu Luo Yu in the finals of the Syed Modi India International badminton tournament in Lucknow.
In the title clash lasting for 47 minutes, Sindhu defeated Luo Yu by 21-14, 21-16, within two straight games.
This was Sindhu’s first BWF World Tour title since the Singapore Open title in July 2022, which was a BWF Super 500 tournament, as compared to Syed Modi India International, which is a BWF Super 300 tournament. In 2023 and this year, she had reached the finals of the Spain Masters and Malaysia Masters but failed to win the title.
