Dinesh Karthik and Dipika Pallikal love story
Both Dipika and Dinesh were taking fitness sessions under the same coach, Basu, and it was there when she formally met the Indian wicket-keeper and batsman, Dinesh Karthik.
After a few meetings with Dinesh, her misconceptions were proved wrong, and soon the duo developed a healthy friendship. Talking about how it started between the two, Dipika stated in one of her interviews:
“We got to know each other at the gym, but there was nothing more, contrary to what most media reports seem to suggest.”
Recalling her first ever meeting him, she said:
“In fact, the first time we met was at a marathon some five years ago. After that, we met at the gym and, if I remember, I left for practice without even saying bye to him. Slowly we got to know each other.”
Dipika found Dinesh to be a humble gentleman and a family guy. During an interview to a sports magazine, Dipika shared:
It was February, 2013, and I had just won a tournament in Canada while Dinesh was playing domestic cricket in India. I went to Leeds (England) to train for a week and I found him there, coming all the way to see me. That was when I fell for him, realising not many would do something like that. He used to watch me train at the academy and even tried his hand at squash. He played much better than I thought.
Dinesh proposed Dipika in London, soon after the Indian team won the champions trophy. It was on November 15, 2013, Dinesh and Dipika made their relationship official with an engagement ceremony in Chennai.
