In an interview with TOI, Saina had not only confirmed her wedding but also shared tonnes of details on the same. The Padma Shri awardee badminton player had then stated, “We started travelling for bigger tours from 2007-08 onwards. We played tournaments together, trained together and slowly, started paying more attention to each other's matches.” And further added, “In the competitive world that we live in, it is difficult to get close to someone. But somehow we both found it very easy to talk to each other, talk about our matches. The feeling gradually grew.”
Publicly acknowledging their relationship for the first time, Saina had earlier revealed, “We didn't think about marriage before. The career that we pursue is very demanding. It is very important to win tournaments and we didn't want to shift our focus by getting married earlier.” She added, “A player needs treatment and attention just like a baby. At home, I get everything without asking, but this will change once I get married. I will be equally responsible for doing things on my own.”
Her thoughts prior to her wedding? Saina had revealed in an interview sometime back, “I didn't want to rush things before the CWG and Asian Games. But now, we think we are ready for it and can manage things on our own.” Also, do you guys something? Saina did not even had to tell her parents about her marriage because it was so obvious for them! Speaking about the same in the interview, Saina revealed, “Bolne ki zaroorat nahi padi (I didn't have to tell them). We used to be together most of the time and my parents also travelled with me, so they understood who I was close to and comfortable with even after my losses.” (Also Checkout!
