We played tournaments together, trained together and slowly, started paying more attention to each other's matches.

In the competitive world that we live in, it is difficult to get close to someone. But somehow we both found it very easy to talk to each other, talk about our matches.

The feeling gradually grew.”Now with both Saina and Kashyap trying to give their marriage a second chance, the couple reminds us all that even the strongest relationships can go through testing times — but sometimes, love does find its way back.
