Confirming the wedding date, a source close to the couple had said, “Both families had been planning the wedding for a while now. Now they have finalised the date.

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.

Talking about the wedding dates and details, the Padma Shri awardee badminton player stated, “I will get busy with the Premier Badminton League from December 20 and then qualifiers for the Tokyo Games will begin. So this was the only date that we had to get married.” On making her relationship official with her Mr Right, Saina retorted, “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 of doing things on my own.” (Also Read: Parineeti Chopra Strikes Pose With Alleged Beau At Priyanka-Nick's Pre-Wedding Party, Pic Inside)
