Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap's love story

Saina and Parupalli first met at a training camp. As both of them came from the same profession, the duo hardly had time to spend with each other. Soon after their first meetup, the two crossed paths several times and became good friends. Back in 2005, Cupid hit an arrow at them and the duo started dating. In 2012, the couple decided to get married, but the wedding was postponed due to Saina’s matches. Saina and Parupalli not only belonged to the same profession, they also belonged to the same locality and often used to visit each other’s houses.

Their parents knew everything that was brewing between the couple. Finally, after 13 years of dating, the two tied the knot in an intimate wedding. On December 14, 2018, the duo exchanged vows and announced their marriage to fans on December 16, 2018. For the special day, Saina dazzled in a powder blue lehenga and minimal makeup and jewellery, while her husband, Parupalli, looked handsome in a pink kurta and white pyjama.
