Who is Saina Nehwal's husband? Timeline of Badminton player's love story with Parupalli Kashyap and split after 7 years
They were not just India's badminton power couple; they were each other's biggest competition, coach, critic, and cheerleader. Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap's relationship began in training halls and tournament circuits, blossomed in secret, and turned into what was once a rock-solid partnership that spanned more than a decade. But in the late hours of Sunday, July 13, the pair stunned fans by announcing their separation. As badminton fans mourn the loss of their star couple, here's a look at how their relationship began. Innocent beginnings and secret romance They first crossed paths at a 1997 coaching camp. Regular meetings began in 2002 when they both relocated to Hyderabad under coach Pullela Gopichand's wing. 'It was the school kind of romance, innocent and more about telling your peers that you had a boyfriend/girlfriend,' Kashyap later told ESPN. By 2005, their friendly rivalry soon gave way to romance and mutual support as they pushed one another to do better. 'There is competition even while you train, and I was determined to be better than Kashyap, even in training,' Saina admitted to the Indian Express. Meanwhile, Kashyap benefited from her competitive spirit as well, 'I really liked the way she trained, it motivated me a lot and her pure effort, her attitude in matches, the way she fought,' he stated in an Instagram Live interview with Sanjana Shetty. From shared triumphs to tying the knot In 2012, when Saina stood on the Olympic podium and Kashyap made history as India's first male quarter-finalist, their relationship had only grown stronger. The duo kept their courtside romance a secret for almost ten years, even keeping it from their friends. Kashyap stated that they had 'dated for a long, long time. It was childish that we hid it from all our friends. We would be very secretive about it. We were shy and scared.' The pair married on December 16, 2018, per the Indian Express. Having shifted to coaching by then, Kashyap often stood courtside to feed Saina shuttles during training. Their synergy peaked at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where Saina clinched gold with Kashyap in her corner. Separation announced in 2025 After almost two decades together, the powerhouse couple decided to part ways. On July 13, 2025, Saina took to Instagram to announce their split. "Life takes us in different directions sometimes," she wrote. "Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing—for ourselves and each other." Though their split may surprise many, Saina's Instagram story emphasized her gratitude for their time together and asked her fans for privacy, "I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward."

Well, it's a true courtside classic, this dreamy duo has been a part of The Championships since the very beginning. The love story goes way back , we're talking royal history. Legend has it that Cardinal Thomas Wolsey first whipped up strawberries and cream for a feast in 1509 when King Henry VIII came to visit Hampton Court, just a short hop from where Wimbledon stands today. Fast-forward a few centuries to 1877: the very first Wimbledon tournament served the treat to 200 spectators, and a tradition was born. At the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, over 55 tons of Grade 1 English strawberries from Hugh Lowe Farms (just 31.5 miles away) were served—more than 2.5 million berries in total. Paired with 13,241 litres of cream, that added up to 251,405 portions of the iconic Wimbledon treat. Today, this timeless combo still reigns supreme. As per the official website of Wimbledon, around 200,000 portions are served each year that's a lot of berries!). It was originally priced at just £2.50 ( ₹265) in 2010 but after 15 years, Wimbledon organisers raised the price to now £2.70 (approx ₹285).
