Sakshi Malik who won a billion hearts when she won an Olympic medal at Rio Olympics for India got engaged to wrestler boyfriend Satyawart Kadian at her residence in Rohtak. “It was a private function. Only the families of the to-be bride and groom attended the event and it went very well,” Satyawart’s father Arjuna Awardee Satyavan Pehelwan said.
Satyawart’s father said the engagement ceremony had been decided long ago, however, the wedding day was not yet confirmed. “They both are wrestlers so they have to chalk out dates out of their schedule of endless tournaments. So, we cannot say right now about the wedding,” Satyavan said. Satyawart, 22, is two years younger to Sakshi and trains at his father’s akhada in Rohtak.
He won his first bronze medal at the 2010 Youth Olympics. The two were said to have fallen in love during wrestling tournaments. About Satyawart, Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi had earlier said, “He is very supportive and thinks of my dreams as his own.”
