Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap Part Ways After Seven Years
In a surprising revelation that caught many fans off guard, Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap — two of India’s most celebrated badminton players — have announced their separation. After nearly seven years of marriage, the couple stated that they made the decision to choose “peace for ourselves” and respectfully go their separate ways.
The news was confirmed through a joint statement released to the press and posted across social media platforms. The announcement ended weeks of speculation after the duo was seen attending events individually and refraining from posting pictures together.
A Story of Love and Shared Dreams
Saina and Kashyap’s story began on the court. The two met during their training days at Hyderabad’s Pullela Gopichand Academy. As they traveled the world representing India, their bond grew stronger — culminating in a quiet and heartfelt wedding in December 2018.
Together, they became one of the most admired sporting couples in India. Fans often appreciated their mutual respect, competitive spirit, and unwavering support for each other both on and off the court.
Why They Separated
Though the couple did not disclose specific reasons for the separation, sources close to them cited “personal differences” and “growing apart” as the main causes. Their public statement read:
“After many conversations and reflections, we’ve decided to part ways. This decision was not made lightly but is rooted in mutual respect and the desire for personal peace and growth.”
Despite the emotional nature of the announcement, both Saina and Kashyap assured fans that they will continue to support each other’s careers and remain committed to the sport they both love.
