Sakshi Malik, who ended India's wait for a medal at
Rio Olympics, has revealed her marriage plans in an interview given to
Anand Bazar Patrika. Speaking to the Bengali daily, India's latest sporting sensation Sakshi said she will soon be taking wedding vows with a fellow wrestler.
Sakshi however, did not reveal the identify of the person and added that he is supportive of her preparations for Tokyo Olympics 2020. "He is very supportive. He thinks my dreams are his dreams. I will gain a friend after marriage," she told the Bengali daily. "He will help me in my preparations. I believe wrestling after marriage will not be a problem."
