PV Sindhu and husband Venkata Datta Sai seek blessings at Tirumala post wedding - Watch

NEW DELHI: Ace Indian shuttler and two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, along with her husband, businessman Venkata Datta Sai, offered prayers at the revered Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala. The couple, radiating newlywed happiness, sought divine blessings shortly after their grand yet intimate wedding celebrations.

Sindhu, 29, tied the knot with Venkata Datta Sai, an executive director at Posidex Technologies, on December 22 in a traditional ceremony in Udaipur. The wedding was attended by close family and friends, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the shuttler who has brought immense pride to the nation.

The celebrations began with a vibrant Sangeet ceremony on December 20, filled with music, dance, and joyous moments as both families came together. This was followed by rituals steeped in tradition, including Haldi, Pellikuthuru, Mehendi, and other customs on December 21, culminating in the nuptials.

Sindhu, who hails from Hyderabad, is one of India’s most celebrated athletes, with a stellar career featuring five World Championship medals, including a gold, and two Olympic medals—a bronze in Rio 2016 and a silver in Tokyo 2020.

The temple visit at Tirumala, a gesture rooted in devotion and gratitude, added a spiritual note to the couple's journey as newlyweds.

Sindhu shared glimpses of her wedding on social media earlier, delighting fans and followers with the joyous occasion.
