Indian badminton star Saina Nehwal and husband Parupalli Kashyap, who is also a top former shuttler, have announced their decision to part ways mutually. Saina surprised the sporting world by sharing a personal update on Instagram on Sunday.
“Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We’re choosing peace, growth, and healing – for ourselves and each other,” Saina, a two-time Commonwealth Games champion, wrote.
Saina and Kashyap married in December 2018.
They trained together at the Pullela Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad from their early days.
