The badminton star got married to the businessman-model in on December 24 in Coorg. Ashwini announced the engagement with her long-time boyfriend in October via an Instagram post.

Professionally, the month November brought double-delight for Ponnappa as she won gold in both the women's doubles and mixed doubles at the National Championships. In Women's doubles, she partnered N. Sikki Reddy while in mixed doubles, the 17-year old Satviksairaj Rankireddy was her partner.

However, Ponnappa will have little time to rest after her marriage, as she has to rush off the New Delhi to take part in the Premier Badminton League, where she is representing the Delhi Dashers. Incidentally, she became the highest-paid Indian doubles shuttler in the PBL Auctions, earlier this year, when the Dashers bought her for Rs 20 lakh.
