This marks a new chapter in the life of one of India's most celebrated athletes, as she prepares to embark on this exciting journey with her partner.

Sindhu is regarded as one of India’s greatest athletes with five world championship medals, including a gold in 2019, besides her silver and bronze at the Olympic Games.
