World Badminton Championships bronze medallist B Sai Praneeth got engaged in a private ceremony on Friday to Swetha Jayanthi and the ceremony was attended by a host of badminton stars, including Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap.
Sai Praneeth has had a very good year so far as he ended India's 36-year wait for a World Championships medal in men's singles discipline as he became the only men's singles player to bag a bronze after Prakash Padukone in 1983.
Praneeth also reached a career-high world No.10 in BWF rankings last week as he cotinued his quest for qualification in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Praneeth also received the Arjuna award this year.
With the professional laurels piling up, Praneeth began a new chapter in his personal life with the engagement.
His engagement ceremony was attended by Saina, Kashyap, Ashwini Ponnappa, Chirag Shetty, Pranaav Jerry Chopra, HS Prannoy, Gurusai Dutt and more.
Saina took to Twitter to post a number of pictures from the ceremony and congratulated the couple for beginning a new phase of their lives.

From the world of badminton, Praneeth received wishes from Kidambi Nandagopal and English player Rajiv Ouseph.
