Sindhu, who recently clinched the Syed Modi International title, met Tendulkar in person to extend the wedding invitation. Her wedding date was carefully chosen to ensure she can return to her rigorous training schedule in January, as the upcoming badminton season is crucial for her international commitments.
Sindhu’s fiancé, Venkata Datta Sai, is an accomplished professional based in Hyderabad. Serving as the Executive Director of Posidex Technologies, he boasts a strong background in liberal studies and business and has gained notable experience, including managing the JSW-owned Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
