India's two-time Olympics medallist shuttler PV Sindhu is set to get married to Hyderabad-based Venkata Datta Sai on December 22 in Udaipur. Venkata is an Executive Director at Prosidex Technologies. The pre-wedding festivities will begin on December 20 and the reception will be held in Hyderabad on December 24. 

Sindhu's father, PV Ramana revealed that everything was finalised a month ago and the wedding was scheduled to ensure that it does not interfere with her schedule.

"The two families knew each other but it was only a month ago that everything was finalised. This was the only possible window as her schedule will be hectic from January,"  Ramana told PTI.

 

 

"So that is the reason the two families decided to have the marriage ceremony on December 22. The reception will be held in Hyderabad on December 24. She will start her training soon after, as the next season is going to be important."
