Sindhu's family also confirmed that the reception will be held in her hometown, on December 24. The wedding has been planned in a way that allows the shuttler to stage a return to the international circuit in January as the next season will be crucial. The veteran hasn't had a great run recently, having missed out on a medal in the Paris Olympics 2024 edition. She, however, ended a long title drought with a victory at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow.

Talking about the development, Sindhu's father PV Ramana told the news agency PTI, "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."
