The two were engaged a couple of years ago and have since then supported each other in their careers as prominent sports professionals - Karthik stood by his wife last year when she threatened to pull out of the Asian Games, and was also there to celebrate her winning the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
“@DipikaPallikal: So glad I could have my man with me on such a magical day! @DineshKarthikpic.twitter.com/EB3vQbN7NY”- So proud of her :)
