Udaipur is set to host another royal wedding as badminton star and Olympic medalist PV Sindhu will marry IT entrepreneur Venkata Dutta Sai on December 22 at the luxurious Raffles Hotel, situated by Udaysagar Lake. The intimate wedding ceremony will have just 140 guests, including close friends and family members.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations Begin
On Saturday, Sindhu participated in a pre-wedding photoshoot at the hotel, with the picturesque Udaipur backdrop adding a regal touch. The day’s festivities included Mehendi and Sangeet ceremonies, attended by close family and friends.
The wedding, rooted in South Indian traditions, is expected to be a vibrant and elegant affair. Sindhu’s family has booked 100 rooms at the Raffles Hotel to ensure a grand yet private celebration.
Star-Studded Guest List
While the Udaipur wedding is a private event, the guest list is nothing short of extraordinary. Invitations have reportedly been extended to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, javelin star Neeraj Chopra, and other notable figures from sports and politics.
Although these VIPs are more likely to attend the grand reception in Hyderabad on December 24, their potential appearance at the Udaipur wedding has created a buzz.
A Decade-Long Friendship Blossoms into Marriage
PV Sindhu and Venkata Dutta Sai share a story that began 10 years ago during a chance meeting on a flight. Their friendship grew over the years, culminating in their engagement on December 14 in a simple ceremony.
Sindhu arrived in Udaipur with her family on Friday to prepare for the big day. The couple will return to Hyderabad after the wedding, where they will host a lavish reception for extended family, friends, and high-profile guests.
Hyderabad Reception to Host Prominent Personalities
The grand reception on December 24 in Hyderabad is expected to bring together a star-studded crowd, including Telangana CM K. Chandrashekar Rao, Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, and other celebrities from various fields. Sindhu personally invited several dignitaries, including PM Modi and Tendulkar, to the event.
A Cultural Celebration
The wedding promises to be a blend of traditional South Indian rituals and modern elegance. Guests enjoyed a dinner reception on Saturday night, and the ceremonies continue into Sunday with Sindhu and Venkata exchanging vows in a traditional setting.
