Rio Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik got engaged to wrestler boyfriend Satyawart Kadian at her residence in Rohtak, on Sunday.

“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, 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.

Commenting on Satyawart, Sakshi Malik said, “He is very supportive and thinks of my dreams as his own.”

While Sakshi had won a bronze in the 58kg category in Rio, Satyawart grabbed a silver in 97kg in 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He has been training in the akhada run by his father in Rohtak, while Sakshi has been training at Sir Chhotu Ram Stadium Wrestling Academy in the same city . Both the families are settled in Rohtak.

Satyawart rose to fame in the 2013 World Youth Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, when he became the only Indian wrestler to win a medal. Son of Satyawan Kadian, an Arjuna Awardee and 1988 Summer Olympics Olympian, Satyawart represented India for the first time in 2010 Youth Olympics where he won a bronze medal.
