Saina-Kashyap Marriage

Saina and Kashyap got married in December 2018. Both began their training at the Pullela Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad during their early years of training. Saina Nehwal rose to prominence after winning the BWF World Junior Championships in 2008—the same year she made her Olympic debut, reaching the quarterfinals and becoming the first Indian woman shuttler to do so. Four years later, she won her first Olympic medal.

Her remarkable achievements were recognised with the Arjuna Award in 2009 and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award in 2010. To date, she remains the only Indian female badminton player to have held the world No.1 ranking. Parupalli Kashyap, meanwhile, clinched the gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, becoming the first Indian male shuttler in 32 years to win CWG gold. He also became the first Indian man to reach the quarterfinals in Olympic badminton, a feat he accomplished at the 2012 Summer Games. In 2013, he achieved a career-high world ranking of No.6. Kashyap retired in 2024 and has since transitioned into coaching.
