Cricketer Dinesh Karthik married squash star Dipika Pallikal on Tuesday in Chennai. The couple tied the knot in Christian ceremony. They will again get married according to Telugu-Naidu tradition on August 20.
The couple will be married twice – once in a Christian Wedding Ceremony and the second time in a Hindu Marriage Ceremony.


Christian Wedding:
Dinesh Karthik and Dipika Palikal got married in a Syrian Christian Church ceremony on 18 August, 2015. Their marriage took place in Chennai.
Since Dipika Pallikal is a Syrian Christian; the first marriage was in a Church.
Dipika wore  a white wedding gown for her marriage.

Dinesh Kartik and Dipika Pallikal will be married in a Hindu Telegu Naidu Wedding Ceremony on 20 August, 2015, in Chennai. Dipika Pallikal will wear a yellow sari for her Hindu wedding. She will have a Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony before her wedding. This is Dipika Pallikal’s first and Dinesh Karthik’s second marriage.
Dipika Paikal will continue competing in squash after her marriage to Dinesh Kartik.


Dipika had met Dinesh after he was divorced from his first wife and childhood friend Nikita. Incidentally Nikita is now the wife of Indian Test opener Murali Vijay.
Dinesh has been known to support Dipika in all her decisions and stood by her when she threatened to pull out of the Asian Games last year as she was not happy with the draw. He was also there to celebrate her winning the gold medal in the doubles event at the Commonwealth Games.

Dinesh Karthik proposed marriage to Dipika Pallikal in June 2013, after the Indian team, of which he was a part, had won the 2013 “ICC Champions Trophy”.


Indian cricketer, Dinesh Karthik and Dipika Rebecca Pallikal were formally engaged on November 15, 2013. Their engagement was held at Chennai’s ITC Grand Chola Hotel. It was a private function attended only by family and close friends. Since Dipika Pallikal is a Syrian Christian and Dinesh Kartik is a Hindu, they had a Christian and a Hindu engagement ceremony.

At her engagement, Deepika Pallikal wore a Ritu Kumar dress and a Red Saree. Dinesh Kartik wore a blue Nehru jacket on a traditional cream Kurta, and a white Pajama (trouser). Their engagement came as a surprise to many, since they had kept their relationship private.

How Did Dinesh Kartik and Dipika Pallikal Fall In Love?

Before Dipika Pallikal met Dinesh Kartik, she disliked Cricketers. Even now, she is not a big fan of cricketers, because she feels that other Indian sportspersons are ignored and sidelined because of the fame and money that cricketers and cricket enjoys in India. Despite her dislike of cricketers, Dinesh Karthik was able to woo Dipika; this shows the genuine affection both have for each other.
Dipika Palikal and her fiancé, Dinesh Karthik, first met at a marathon in 2008.


Their next meeting was in the start of 2013, at Shanker Basu’s Maverick Gym in Chennai. Shanker Basu, the CEO of Maverick Gym, was the fitness trainer to both Dipika and Dinesh. This was the start of Dipika and Dinesh’s friendship. Incidentally, Shankar Basu also trains many Chennai based celebrities, film stars and an IPL cricket team.

Dipika Pallikal’s and Dinesh Karthik’s friendship blossomed into love in February, 2013, when Dipika went for a week to Leeds in England to train. Dinesh Kartik joined her there and that’s when friendship turned to love.
Dinesh Kartik proposed marriage to Dipika Palikal in June, 2013 and they were formally engaged on 15, November, 2013.
Dipika Pallikal likes Dinesh Kartik because he is a nice, simple and level-headed person. She believes he is a family oriented person.

Deepika Pallikal and Dinesh Karthik have many things in common. Both were born in Chennai and they both grew up in Chennai. They are both professional sportspersons who have represented India at the highest level in their sport. Both are family people who like to spend time with family members and friends. Both Dipika and Dinesh’s parents are keen sportspersons.
